It has to do with questions on point and figure charting and LU
Congratulations on 16000, I was circling around, but I got distracted watching other charts (after all observing charts is the real reason of being on line, grubbing is done as a sideline), nevertheless, great catch.
Thanks again.

p.s. Re: Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers.
I have not read the book, but I found the following review in Amazon.com.
I also found that the original book (1995) is out of print, however the updated book (published June 1998, is updated and available).
Thanks for the reference, I will be sure to read this book !
The review sounds quite fun and entertaining

Why don't zebras get ulcers--or heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases--when people do? In a fascinating look at the science of stress, biologist Robert Sapolsky presents an intriguing case, that people develop such diseases partly because our bodies aren't designed for the constant stresses of a modern-day life--like sitting in daily traffic jams or growing up in poverty. Rather, they seem more built for the kind of short-term stress faced by a zebra--like outrunning a lion.
With wit, graceful writing, and a sprinkling of Far Side cartoons, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers makes understanding the science of stress an adventure in discovery. "This book is a primer about stress, stress-related disease, and the mechanisms of coping with stress. How is it that our bodies can adapt to some stressful emergencies, while other ones make us sick? Why are some of us especially vulnerable to stress-related diseases, and what does that have to do with our personalities?"
Sapolsky, a Stanford University neuroscientist, explores stress's role in heart disease, diabetes, growth retardation, memory loss, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. He cites tantalizing studies of hyenas, baboons, and rodents, as well as of people of different cultures, to vividly make his points. And Sapolsky concludes with a hopeful chapter, titled "Managing Stress." Although he doesn't subscribe to the school of thought that hope cures all disease, Sapolsky highlights the studies that suggest we do have some control over stress-related ailments, based on how we perceive the stress and the kinds of social support we have.

In particular I enjoyed the bolded (mine) paragraphs.
Indeed, running away from a lion, seems an appropriate comparison to day trading in some instances.
I love it, I will read this book. I believe Psychology is an under rated aspect in the education of a trader/investor, same thing in the game of Golf.
btw.....
Do you know what you get when you spell Golf backwards ??.......
