And speaking of Black-Scholes, Barron's, p. 26:

<<... Long-Term Capital Management, the multibillion-dollar hedge fund founded by Wall Street's legendary trader, John Meriwether, and advised by [fake(*)] Nobel Laureate Myron Scholes. The Greenwich, Connecticut-based investment management firm announced last week that its fund had lost a staggering $2.1 billion, or 44% of its value, in August, bringing its year-to-date losses to 52%.>>

(*) as I posted before, there is no Nobel Prize in economics, only self-created so-called "Nobel Memorial Prize in economics", established in 1970, and not related in any way to the five real Nobel prizes or the Nobel Foundation.

Mike, I don't take much encouragement in my put positions given David Tice's comments in Barron's. I was hoping on a 10 bag on my zon poots until I saw his insightful comments on GTW's Moo Stores and sales taxes. I want well founded support in my beliefs not hit or miss morons yapping like YHOOligans. -ng-

mike, was listening to the mortified fools on the radio. what a bunch of twits ;-) anyway, they have an ingenious stock recommendation this week. i mean, their analysis is waaaaay ahead of the herd. nobody has even considered this great stock as an investment. these guys are sharp as a marble.

the stock rhymes with nell. you figure it out ;-)

they then said they knew the stock has had tremendous success but said they didn't mind (being dead last to the party and paying top dollar ;-) i think this was their discourse on machoism. we'll buy it at the top and we don't even care! uuuuuugggggghhhhh!!! ;-)

I guess picking one's source for market and stock news is important. Check out the drubbing readers of Smart Money have incurred if they followed their "picks".
