Off Topic I once devised a recipe for Corned Beef which was a combination of an Irish and a German/Polish style. However, I stopped making it for a few years and forgot how it went, so I just do it the same as most everyone else. A minute trader, eh? Is that "minute" as in the sixtieth part of an hour or "minute" as in very small, trifling? I knew someone who was a "min-it" trader who became a "my-knute" trader. I'm still trading each day but I hesitate to put on any size until I have a clear idea. 3 points would be fine, gambling 10 contracts I guess. However I am just looking for 2~4 points once or twice a day for now and waiting for the "Big Ride" before I load de boat. Meanwhile, I have enough put aside to pay for golf balls.

Oh, one thing I forgot!!! My favorite March Madness Guru! I least I think it was last March, definitely on a Tuesday, when Cohen proclaimed Victory! against the Forces Of E-vile, people like me of course. And evidently her own traders who immediately went and bought almost 2000 OEX puts which were 20 or 25 points out of the money. (Pre-Split, the good ol' days). By the following Monday they were 12 points in the money. Hmmmmm. Anyway, my Irish ears perked up and I had a foine grin on me face this afternoon when I heard that on the tube. So I foisted anuther Whiskey down and suddenly had a spring in my step. Tomorrow almost certainly will be hard to trade. It certainly is not the start of the "Big Ride". Besides, it usually takes about 3 days to counter this type of bullish proclamation. But it does have the potential for a real nice trade on the short side from about 9 or 10 CT. Besides I need the practice. I may even stay with the trade all day instead of the usual 20 minutes.
