For many years there has been a "dumbing down" that was allowed - nay required - by law. Tests have been rewritten giving more points for effort than achievment, more points for the P.C. "correct" world view than actual history. Have you not noted how many jobs in our economy are based in sales than in Mfg. related fields?

"am a TA oriented trader and stick
mostly with derivitives/options."

My understanding is that the y2k testing on the NYSE did not include derivitives/options which to me negates the substance of the tests.If you don't include all variables the results cannot be trusted.Does anyone here know if the tests did/not include derivitives?

J.L.T.
