Bumblebee *OT*

Actually I believe it was either Lockheed or McDonnall Douglas that when trying to develope what eventually became the C-5 Air Force Cargo Aircraft used the aerodynamics of the Bumblebee as a model for large payload capability. The Final line of the report read "After extensive research of the aeronautical characteristics of the Bumblebee and applying all known formulas for weight distribution, air resistance, wing span, lift etc, we have reached the conclusion that it is impossible for the Bumblebee to sustain flight. However due the Bumblebee's inability to read this report, it continues to do so."

Look Chuzzlewit, you seem to like to criticize without offering any useful data or evidence. Not in your entire post did you give an ounce of data or evidence.

>>Outside of a very few cases such as the January Effect we know no such thing

First, the trading days before Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's have historically been up 68%.

Second, historically Mondays are up only 41% while Fridays are up 60%.

Third, the best month is December, up 72%. The worst month is September, up 40%

All percentages are calculated from an unweighted price index, such as Valueline's going back to the 1930's. The month performances are calculated from the DOW Jones Industrial Avergae from 1897 to 1996. Do I need to cite more, because there's alot more where that came from? Chuzzlewit, I seriously suggest you spend a little time doing some reading. You're starting to sound like a dumbass because you act like you know what you're talking about when it's obvious that you don't.

>>First, I know of no academic who claimed that bumble bees can't fly, do you?

Wrong. According to the Laws of Physics, a bumblebee can NOT fly. I see you know zero Academics. Ask any Physics professor. Please...try to educate yourself before trying to educate others...otherwise it can get embarrassing.

I suggest you look at the historical data yourself, since it is apparent you haven't already.

>>The point that I was making is that these authors assert that they have a record of beating the street, but the evidence simply does not exist.

What about Peter Lynch? Are you telling me his years at Fidelity was a hoax? That he made up his performance record? Are you trying to assert that he's lying. I don't think he would like that. You must have been sniffing more than jim kelley's glue, if you think your above statement is correct.
