Jackess Huh? This is not a name I'm familiar with, is it a Star Trek reference? In the primate world (of which humans belong) it was widely accepted that the Alpha males were the only ones that had access to females which of course meant that all offspring contained their genes. This meant that the offspring, if they were male offspring, inherited their aggressive tendencies and would challenge the Alpha males position when they were old enough. This is why the Alpha males have a tendency to kill the babies, especially ones that were aggressive. Mothers want their children to live, their children are far more important to them then their mates. When researchers started doing sophisticated DNA testing they found that the Beta males were fathering quite a few of those babies. Because the babies tended to be less aggressive they had a better chance of not being killed before they could grow up.

From the MDD thread: To:Whitmore G. who wrote (74695) From: George S. Cole Wednesday, Apr 11, 2001 11:12 AM View Replies (1) \| Respond to of 74706 Nice being long QQQ now. You have to look beneath the surface to glean the nitty gritty. When Lehman downgraded the semis a few days ago, the NDX managed a small gain despite a sharp drop in the SOX. That divergence persuaded this investor to go heavily long QQQ. This guy Cole is the absolute worst. He thinks he's hot, but he's so bad you can't even use him in a contrary way. If you look beneath the QQQ, the view is disturbing. Little flow for all the price. Consider the ridiculous reason he cites for going long. This is a lie that he concocts after the fact. If not, to base an upside market move on a broker's belated downgrade of an industry sector, is ridiculous. Cole should have been selling according to his "insight" on this: NEW YORK (AFX) - Share prices are expected to open higher, led by chip stocks, after Salomon Smith Barney analyst Jonathan Joseph upgraded the sector to 'outperform' from 'neutral', arguing that it is reaching a cylical bottom, dealers said. In his note, Joseph argued that with the big names in the sector reporting no net bookings in the quarter and shipments for component suppliers falling 50 pct, conditions are the worst ever seen by the most seasoned industry participants. "If it cannot get worse, it will get better," he said. "If it gets better, the stocks will begin to reflect that." You can't decide who is more incompetent, Joseph or Cole.
