Larry,

Milstein doesn't make all his money trading misprints, he was a big-time Treasury bond futures trader in the pits. He made his fortunes trading like you & me, by sweating it out. But, his claim to fame was his knack for trusting the 'direction' of mis-prints whenever they appeared. Lore has it that he once made 5 points in 2 months due to a fortuitous "high" mis-print and 200 points in the S&P from another. It's quite interesting. The last couple of 'milstein' I observed were in Microsoft (500) and ARBA (400, in September).

Cheers, Patsy.
