Thanks, hypo, but one thing: How can Ray earn ANY points when he's ice dancing in the halfpipe (and wearing an ugly costume, too)? I mean - what the heck is he doing here with these off-topic screeds, that now, as a result of his feud with our valued contributor LPS5, have mutated even futher into personal attacks? I hate to put anyone on ignore, as even the flyer glued to the bus bench by a schizophrenic might include something unexpectedly useful, but this is getting silly.

Saturday Night Fever Passes Into The Mists.... Very clever. I like your style. You do, however, remind me of Ms. La Gougne of the ISU, as you recall, the woman who just got yanked for putting in the fix. BTW, I'm as entertained by your posts as you suggest you are by mine. Now, do you happen to have any comment on the OTC derivatives exposures that I was attempting to elicit a response to in my originating post last evening? LPS5 seems to want to skirt the issue. I'm sure you've thought about it. Or how about the role of surety bonds or the lack thereof in fomenting further bankruptcies like occurred with K-Mart, or Kame-apart, as we are fond of calling it today. Does the day trader consider his exposures to credit risk? Or merely stare at a narrow window of contrived and incomplete technical data and try to compete against market makers who do the contriving and have more complete information for a permanent advantage? Just some musings..... I know we've covered some of this ground before. But it does seem to me the day trader necessarily must know and accept the limitations to his role in the food chain. Something touched upon on this thread, but never fully exposed to the light of day. All the Best, Ray

Hypo, did Confucius ever say, "Those who call their opponents vile names label themselves as being unable to engage others on the issues", or something like that? If he didn't, he should have. Loved your Olympic judging scores.

Hype, I thought this might clarify why I ought to be granted a higher score for "Useful Insights", "Rationality", "Trading Acumen", "Market Knowledge", "Impartiality" and Overall Perspicacity: "The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitable he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. An even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." Thus spake Menchen. I swear to the gods of Mammon. This stuff applies to the Wall Street racketeers in equal measure. Just ask LPs%. Though he'll never tell his secrets. Hehe. -R. PS: I'm still bucking for a 15 on the Entertainment scale. If you don't think so, I'll send over some of the girls that Lou Pai hired for that last Enron Energy Trading(S&M) meeting at HQ. They have a way of convincing the timid....
