Jon, the momentum trading money is so busy at Yahoo! Amazon and co that I suppose Q.com doesn't get a look in. It is looking like a Web-bloom to me. A kind of Web chain letter where you get rich as long as you aren't the last one in. The red-hot champion algorithm electronic computer trading experts will be moving like lightning, watching each other and integrating their competitors' processes into their algorithms as they mutate, while the sluggish neophytes barely know what's going on. Guess which will be left holding the baby [or in your joke, sardines, but in the old version I heard quite a few years ago, rotten eggs]. The daily trading patterns are interesting, volumes leaping in seconds with tiny transitions in price. A bit like a cdmaOne wave function with many equations hidden within the overall mishmash which might appear like white noise. To the chaos inclined, some kind of fractal world created in the minds of a multitude detached from reality. Doesn't it tempt you, being a trader of old? At the moment, I'll stick with a simple equation with time measured in years rather than minutes. Do you think they really are that good, or am I up a gum tree? Meanwhile, some attempts at scaring Pierre here: upside.com Which is a series of articles by some joker Malone, who is worried about where the Web and the technoworld is leading us. I got it from here, which is an interesting thread on money. Message 5096976 Mqurice Q.com $80 31 July [there is some potential ammunition for LarryL! Dougjn et al]

Jon: LOL!!! Your joke is going to make it's way to the executive meeting this morning. What a great way to start the day. Thanks. ...Tim Your joke reminds me of the old story about the slightly hard of hearing, old geezer who made a rare trip to town to check on his stocks. When he returned home, his wife asked what the stockbroker had to say. "I'm not quite sure why but he seemed to feel we should sell all our stocks, so I did.", the old gent explained. "He told me the secret to making money is to "buy sheep and sell deer", so it looks like were going to be in the livestock business!"
