(WAY OT - and way too long of a story ,,,I got carried away) OK fine. want another conspiracy theory. OK. here goes. BACK in the days of Nasdaq Market makers. Calling etrade. A bunch of neandrathals. Back in the days of Nasdaq market makers calling up each other and screaming, MOO GOO GUY PAN. BACK in those days. When Janus would sell the living begeezus out of TelMex. Or Merril and Herzog would sell the LIVING daylights out of intel. On options expiration. Back in the glory days. of KURLACK. and before Amazon dot com. Back in the days. when manipulating AMER for 63 MILLION IN options money was A STINKIN' lot of money. Back in those days. when etrade had to call up on their 28.8 modem to enter an order with HERZOG. back in those days. when the market makers pushed crap like synoptics and BAY networks (before DSL figured out the game,) and you could buy fertilizer companies. because herzog told you to. back in those days. before aol. when microsoft was a couple million market cap . and cisco was a couple hundred million in cap. back in those days. when the market makers were just testing their strength. where buying puts on apple computer. meant something. back in those days. when you could actually, make money on intel calls. every time it tanked. back in those days. before the fed figured the game out. or in the real case, i think stumbled upon the real game. back in the days. before the media. even cared about the stock market. when the market makers were just flexing their muscles. and they felt like you OWED them their 1/8 point every time you initiated a trade. because. well. they were special. back in those days. before anybody really gave a rats ass. about momentum. when they just ran up the crap. that they decided to run up. when they would run up total garbage like cube. or dallas semi. or cirrus. just because you couldn't figure out what on earth. those clowns made. back in the days. when they would run up an icecream company. or a game company. or a company that made snapple. back in those days. when the market makers were just figuring out what they could get away with, in this budding technological society. back in those days. they gave themselves away. they were flat out wide open. and game themselves away. it was like they were writing a book. that could be clearly read. by anyone with half of an observant eye. back in those days. before they got afraid. before they tried to cover their ass. before they abused the entire system to an extreme. bACK IN Those days. they gave it all away. they let the cat out of the bag. they let it run. NOW.....they want the cat back in the bag. and it's too late. it's just too late. they might as well. just bring a gun. and shoot me. i think that's probably the only way.... Right arthur. <WINK WINK>
