EVIL.....Evil people kick dogs, hurt little children, and are mean to senior citizens for the heck of it. The guy that injected his little boy with AIDS tainted blood so that he wouldn't have to pay child support is evil. (oxygen thief- God I hope they execute him S-L-O-W-L-Y! grrrrr...) Saddam Hussein is evil. Timothy McVeigh is evil. I suppose you would find evil people in the day-trader segment, as you would in the investor segment. They are everywhere now a days. But, it is not the daytrading that makes these people evil...it it the evil that makes these people better daytraders. Take a person who has a degree of evil to begin with, and throw him/her into that arena, and yes, they probably would take their "friends", enemies, companies, etc. Likewise, there are probably some pretty decent people who are trying to make a go of day trading too. People who do volunteer work and people who are kind to others. They try to bring some integrity to it. You have to remember the main difference here....Investors weigh the factors of the COMPANIES, and daytraders weigh the market. In layman's terms, Investors bet on the companies, and the Daytraders bet on the market condition (the investors) The thing about evil is that often you do not know its there until it rears its ugly head. It was there all along....Evil carries brilliant disguise. I suppose we could venture further into evil as a topic, but that is probably better suited for another thread. Thats my story and Im sticking to it. :-) Binder

NON-PAYING SITE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS Dear Gary, That's all I've got to hear...I make small monthly donations to support a number of websites created and run by individuals whose work I believe in, to help defray the expenses of keeping the sites themselves up and running. This is not payment for any "services", it's strictly to assist with site expenses, so it's perfectly legal...and I'd like to add yours to the list, if you'll allow it. I'm posting my idea/offer here instead of p.m. because I'm sure I'm not alone in my sentiment and others will be interested in doing the same.... JEM
