Mark, **************** OT ******************* Regarding professions which are responsible for the advancements of civilizations...

After shipbuilders, if any of todays seemingly mindless professions were to be connected to the development of this great country, I would lean towards sales. All of the great explorers had to "make their pitch" to their respective benefactors to get the money and people to pursue their goals, which in most cases involved new trade routes which would in turn require "sales" to bring these new products to market. Even once here in the "America's" the French, Spanish, British all made their own pitches for alliances with the Indians to offset the balance of power. And even after that, the first great leaders of this country had to make their own pitches for how to deal with the British sending their representatives to Europe to negotiate and "sell" their respective plans and finally our first great leaders "selling" the public on what form of government we were to become.

And most important, who was going to sell all those used horses once the settlers wore them into the ground clearing the land?

You got it...Salespeople.

Of course what all these great salespeople did with the fruits of their labor was tied to bond traders at some point. Or was is balm traders?

Anyway, there is MY pitch!

Regards,

Tom F.

It's like the bond market, a quick short burst of intensity, followed by a long period of inactivity(most likely due to a soft market).....
.
Opinion was not derived from personal experience, but from assumptions made on Henry's past experiences....

sadly true. 'market' participants will confront occasional periods of inactivity due to soft market conditions. the sellers and procurers will not confront this obstacle as they never actually participate in the physical aspects of the 'market'. Always prepared but never a participant, its enough to turn your ticket stubs blue.
