JUMPER AND PETE M. SPEND A DAY IN THE PITS...People shouting... papers flying. There's nothing like the action in the trading pits. However, amid the flurry of purposeful and frenzied activity, two people stand out like a sore thumb. They are our two heroes... sitting in lawn chairs, wearing Bermuda shorts, and sharing a cooler of cold brews between them. JUMPER: Pete, can you hand me another beer?PETE M.: Take it easy, Jump. This is your fourth one, and the market just opened 20 minutes ago.<g>JUMPER: I can't help it. I'm nervous.<-g->PETE M.: You got nothing to worry about.JUMPER: Do you think we'll really see it?PETE M.: We'll see it.JUMPER: What if it doesn't come?PETE M.: It'll come.JUMPER: Are you sure?PETE M.: Hey, relax man. MOT warned, too. I knew they would. Soon as I saw the INTC wire, I knew that MOT was next.JUMPER: But, that doesn't mean it'll come.PETE M.: It'll come.JUMPER: I don't want to miss it. They are so rare nowadays.PETE M.: Yeah, I know. You got your binoculars?JUMPER: Check.PETE M.: You got your tape recorder?JUMPER: Check.PETE M.: You got your camera?JUMPER: Check. (holds up the camera) PETE M.: Hey... that's a nice-looking camera. Did you pay cash for that?JUMPER: Check. <-g->PETE M.: Well, get it ready... it's coming!JUMPER: I see it! I see it!PETE M.: Yeah, I see it too..... ooops, now it's gone. I knew it wouldn't last. Did you get a picture?JUMPER: I think so. It went by so fast.PETE M.: We were there, buddy! We lived through it! Something to tell the grandkids about.JUMPER: Yeah, I feel all tingly.<g>PETE M.: Savor it, Jump. That's the last correction we're going to see for a while.JUMPER: Can you hand me another beer?end
