Rumour: has it that scientist have found a direct correlation between gravity and the stock market {aka what goes up, must come down} So to cure this problem for the FUTURE, they have determined that the best OPTION was to increae gravity by 10% thus decreaseing the returns of the Market by at least 20%. It is of course true that they may have bought all put options on the index's. Thus the scientist have guaranteed that they will profit the most from what can only be called insider information.

Once again the efffect will be felt by all investors, but only those insider's will make the big profits.

Appearnetly, all security commissions are investigating this... But scientist have determined that fines are directly related to cash balances of security officals accounts. Thus, it is expected that no action will be taken against the scientists as they have made a few deposits.

Note: Make your decision based on anything you want... you can't win.

-g- ... and a half hour later in Newfoundland.

Personally I have two excuses-- bouts of insomnia and free ISP 12-6 am PST.

I can't believe John Woods is a bad guy, he's a friend of Adrian's and has done a lot for the internet, as you have yourself. So as soon as there's time I'm off to dig up evidence to defend him...

Btw, here's one of the very few threads without one of your profiles, they have a website in one of my recent posts there;

Great service, David....... muchas gracias .......... marcos

Spent some time on the CBC website; cbc.ca and couldn't find the John Woods article, I don't know which program it was on, maybe it wasn't even CBC.

I'm quite sure John Woods has a high opinion of the internet and its potential, though perhaps not for particular individuals and practices on it. There is a certain level of moronry here at times, as well as drunkenness, I bet there are other recreational pharmaceuticals, some of them likely substituted for prescribed medications. So he's not that far off, imho. He would likely cite constructive examples of SI is asked the right questions, and if they didn't edit it out.

But that's just a rumour ............ cheers .............. marcos

Heard a rumour that Habanero Studios is hot stuff

That's quite a service, David. One thing - quite often the company news release pages seem to be a bit off the page to the right, and there's no scroll bar in the horizontal plane. I'm using Netscape 2.2, and rarely (but sometimes) have that problem elsewhere. Still a great site, though, and one of my bookmarks.

Muchas gracias ........ y saludos ............ marcos
