But you've got to admit that it is soooooooo easy to scalp 1/4s or 1/2s if you can press the buy button the second they mention a stock. The best is when they repeat the same story over and over again all day. Every single time they mention the stock, every idiot in the world buys it. I should know. I've done it. <ggg> And when they have a CEO from a company on. It's hilarious. The stock runs up in anticipation and moves up for about a minute after the guy comes on and then BAMM -- it's over and you're trapped. And BAMM is a good adjective if you know what I mean. <ggg>

I also enjoy when Pisani does his T/A thing now. He tries to explain what's going on from a technical standpoint and I just roll on the floor hearing that crap. He must have Barton Biggs feeding him this crap in his earphone or something. I used to hate those guys but realize that you can profit from them. So I no longer loathe them as much. But that doesn't make them any less stupid. Ever notice that when the market goes down on low volume the world's ending but when it goes up on low volume it's meaningless? That one's always confused me. It's funny. I'm so tired in the morning that I actually watch the damned lava lamps for indications. They sure are more informative than the anchors.
