OK, MRS. wstera02. I would like to know this: IS MY MATH ANY DIFFERENT THAN RR'S? NO IT IS NOT. That is the point. Are you upset that I have the SAME hypothesis with the math worked out or are you now thinking that it's ridiculous? Is the math wrong? Doesn't RR's method lead to 10K turning into 89K or 100K into 890K? Wasn't his post meant to get everyone thinking about what the great results would be if the hypothesis turned out to be real? This is the real crux of it isn't it? You now see that I have figured out the math to that little hypothesis and you're now thinking anyone reading this is now pulling out their calculators. Half are thinking they can get rich quick and make up for losses and the other half are thinking, gee if this is right, it looks like some kind of ponzi scheme or pyramid trade and if it were so easy, why wouldn't everyone be doing this and if they were, wouldn't they be a huge trillionaire by now and why would they be posting on SI? MY POINT: Yes, it IS possible and I said that. I also pointed out what would have to fall into place and the chances of that are not 100%. My wife loves it when I call her "Missy". It reminds her she is young. It's a pet name. But if you insist, I'll think of you as "Mrs." from now on even though it reminds me of my mom and heaven knows she's a little bit grouchy. I'll refrain from calling you by Missy from now on. OK? So, now. Is my math wrong? No, it isn't, is it? Let's get down to discussing the trading that this could possibly lead to. Just as a hypothesis, mind you. Because we know it's just a fantasy we'd all like to have, now isn't it? Why are you so upset? This looks like I could get rich FAST. And so could YOU! All you have to do, is apply yourself! Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life! On to that trillionaire status! TALLY HO!
