The post below is kind of interesting. I think (I'm only guessing, however) it's some kind of commentary on the thinking behind the current market action. I only wish I could talk or write like this. But I think the poster is saying the market could be heading for a drop. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Message 8258183 Talk : Puts/Calls : Waiting for the big Kahuna To: Bear King (38141 ) From: Death Sphincter Wednesday, Mar 10 1999 11:52PM ET Reply # of 38239 Bare Man...you got to watch Green Acres tomorrow...it's the episode where Mr. Douglas gives up and sells the farm back to Mr. Haney...he tries to get $9800 - $9820 but will settle for a little less. Well Haney buys it from him cause he figures he can sell it to some other sucker for $10,000 or more real quick. Oliver complains that the tractor has lost power and is about to break down and that there are foul smells from under the house. Haney isn't concerned because he knows the tractor is held together by rubberbands, paperclips and glue....and the smell is probably just a few stink bugs layin eggs in the spring. A short time later he has the farm on the market but is only gettting offers around $9,500-$9,600, but he isn't worried cause he knows soon the offers will be over $10,000. He tries to fix the tractor but it turns out the glue has turned hard as cement and he can't get the old reliable spark plugs to fire or get them out and then he finds out the smell is a convention of rabid skunks....now there are a few offers from those that believe the plugs will magically come back to life (from advice of their tractor analyists) and the skunks are a temporary problem and will go away by summer...but the offers don't make it back up to $9,800 and keep getting smaller and smaller....Haney freaks out and finally sells out around $8,500 to a group of Skoal employees that have formed an investment group called The Dipsters meanwhile, back in Hooterville, Uncle Joe is cowering in a corner of the hotel as an angry group of peanut buyers are pelting him with peanuts and complaining that he charged too much for the peanuts and that they smell bad. Joe is groveling on the floor stuffing the peanuts into his shirt and scooping all that he can with his hands, protesting that there is nothing wrong with them and that hot roasted nutz always cost a little more....the show ends with an angry mob dragging Joe to the train tracks and lashing him to the rails with Joe clutching his nutz in his hands...the camera pans back and you can see Floyd climbing the steps into the engine yelling "ALL ABOARD" with the whistle screaming.....LOTS OF CURVES YOU CAN BET....EVEN MORE WHEN YOU GET....TO THE JUNCTION...................... Green Acres is the place to be, Short selling is the life for me, endin diagonal spreadin far and wide, keep your Calls just give me that Puttin side Lisa chimes in New York is where I'd rather stay, I am allergic to eBay, I just adore a penthouse view, that ain't no wave 4 darlin put down the glue arnold <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Sam, <<growing ubiquity of the Internet>> How about the growing ubiquity of day trading via the internet? For the first time, I participated in active, intentional day-trading via on-line broker. What the hell is going to happen to the markets when 24/7 trading becomes available. I, for one, will become a quivering bowl of jello. Jeez, I haven't craved a cigarette in 10 years and I want one very badly right now. Scotch will do. This is nuts, Yogi
