I used to really admire the man. I'm losing a lot of respect for him lately. EDITED: Well, more accurately, my statement is a testament to the fact that NONE of those clowns are any better than any of us at analyzing what transpires in the game, because there are no rules at all anymore. Too many people are playing these days. The stock market is like the national lottery meets Vegas. I suppose I'm better than average, but there is NO mathematical solution to this. I've tried for almost 2 decades to solve this crap mathematically. Better Mathematicians (I'm actually a Meteorologist, but I have lots of math background) than me have tried and failed as well. There isn't even a "gut feel" solution to this. And the contrarian approach works sometimes, but not always. Heh. NO ONE will ever convince me that it doesn happen like this: A small, powerful group somewhere has the complete big picture of monetary distribution throughout the game, LIVE, at all times. They know precisely where to place their bets. Everyone else is either lucky or very conservative. Why do you think it is nearly impossible to get historical options and futures data in a comma delimited or other ASCII or spreadsheet format? Because that is important imformation, that's why. Otherwise, I'm elated that I was leveraged to the short side today! God only knows what madness tomorrow will bring. Heh John
