OT/MSI. Cool. FWIW, till age 30 (and earlier as a big time 60s hippie) viewed $$ as an annoying albeit ubiquitous part of daily life. That detachment and lack emotional obsessions with it (my def of greed btw) eliminated that as my rason de entre' into the financial biz. Instead from the gitgo, around 30, was enticed by the amusing game aspects and tactics used by the winners vs the losers (some would say "bungers vs the bungees"<lol>) to entice the flow of do re mi into their pockets and out of those of the less savvy and perceptive among us.<g> Wasn't till years later, that I discovered what a huge competitive advantage that view of the money game engendered. A dispassionate, bemused attitude toward the comedic extremes in behavior of other players is not only a real edge for a trader but also a stress reducer as well. Am very thankful my modus operandi evolved that way during my long career in this biz. Hope the above doesn't detract from the earlier "poetry"<G> Best regards, Isopatch
