I assure you Mr. Olivier I speak for myself. My name is posted in black and white. My e-mail address is there for the interested. I've got nothing to hide.

my dear mr olivier: first, i assure you i am not mr. allen, although i do accept the compliment graciously. (reading his postings it is obvious that he makes a good living investing funds for himself and others, so his opinion is obviously worth considering.) flattery, however, will get you no where. second, please reread my last post. where do i say the "auditors" assemble the financial statements? i said the accountants. (although you and i both know what happens in those meetings where the auditors and accountants "decide" how to couch certain items. i would not willingly make such a fine distinction where none truly exists.) surely a sophisticated cpa such as yourself recognizes that some accountants choose to work for corporations other than the big six. surely a sophisticated cpa such as yourself recognizes that an accountant does put together the financial statements. and surely a sophisticated cpa such as yourself understands the limitations, permutations, obscurantism of such tables. i find it curious that you did not answer whether you and i should begin a philosophical conversation about accounting and investing. perhaps that is because you are too busy analyzing trading and purporting to understand how mms trade. ( i did enjoy your joke about the short-term "bottom" -- 50% higher than 2 weeks ago --however.) since you paid me the compliment of comparing me with mr. allen -- whose postings contain more useful, accurate information than most -- i will return the courtesy. did you study the particulars of trading at the arthur tang school of nasdaq finess, or are you really mr. tang?
