mn RE: Rocks and the Jar. Yes, a very profound thought. I sent a copy to a broker friend who works 14 - 15 hour days, Mon. - Fri., as well as some time over the weekends. I await his response. Thanks for the break. It was an interlude much needed. Mark

Scott, I'm left wondering why he didn't just fill the jar with water or sand from the start, or perhaps even use a bowl rather than a jar. What have we learned today through my post? We've learned that looking at life through the eyes of someone else leads to short-sightedness. We've learned you have to think outside the box... errr, jar, if you want to be successful. We've learned that parables and analogies are really fun to decimate. (gg) - Jeff

I read Toeppel's book and had a chance to speak with him on the phone last December. After reading Confessions of a Samurai Trader and 30 minutes of speaking with him (he was moving over to LFG at the time) I would have to say he must make me look like Peck's Bad Boy. Now that you have his story about rocks I'll let you know about the priest, the minister and the rabbi on P-Mail after I get some rocks to put in my Irish Whiskey.
