Glad you could take time out of your busy schedule to post, F9. Please keep us informed how the Nuevo Feudalism works out.
I thought that was 'gay speak' How do you test for the difference, leaving aside the physical exam of course.
Thanks for posting Jack. I'll faithfully quote to preserve your posts if you'll just leave them there long enough. Or you could PM me.
Here's the source paper, F9. This is great good fun. Can't wait to "do" Jack's style: http://u.cs.biu.ac.il/~koppel/papers/male-female-text-final.pdf
More Jack ephemera. You didn't miss much. Just a personal dig at my lowly self. A cheap shot, Jack. Why don't you go make fun of cripples and leave the mentally disturbed alone? Or better yet, YOU mentor Lucky! What a hoot that would be! Bring Neoxx along to be your court jester. Le roi des cons et son buffon. (Nice rhyme, totally unintentional.)
Well, shit! She's gone, guys! You ran her off! And I was doing so well, I thought! You guys wouldn't know class if it told you which beer to drink with quiche!
Mr. MArket went back into narrow range territory, so I had a few minutes to kill. Tara, babe, I love you, but you have a bit of a butch problem with your writing style. Ran the test on five different specimens, excuse the wording. You are one tough broad! Strangely, I find that kind of exciting!
Just watching the markets this morning causes me to ponder. The idea of granting people their freedom is that they more or less accept their own liabilities whilst selling their labour at an acceptable rate. In an ideal free market, this enables TPTB to keep the market rate at a level sufficient to maintain the illusion of freedom but low enough to maximise profits. It is a delicate balance. This form of economic slavery is much more satisfactory than the physical form where you are totally responsible for the welfare of your slaves. Lincoln went into the civil war having been well briefed on this point. Henry Ford pushed it one stage further and the collapse of Bretton Woods laid the way for the third and what I am sure is the last leg..... namely credit borne of credit. Unfortunately certain hot spots (London and wall Street leap to mind) have miscalculated and have fleeced the sheep too far and now the sheep will not survive the coming winter. With nothing to lose, they then become a dangerous liability Hence the stimulus package and other silly ideas of trying to give the poor sheep a reasonable chance of surviving winter and growing a new coat ready for another clip at a future date. And so my question beloved ETers is simple. Is this current market driving down in order to find a base from which to buy into these relief packages, or is the market demonstrating it's true belief in the current vain attempt to plug the dyke. Your thoughts por favor ' ps..Plug the dyke' refers to a dam that holds back water. It in no way infers that we should all 'plug the dike' saludos f9
A moment of silence please ... that was an absolutely fragg'in amazing post f9. I have thought similar thoughts, and even expoused them to others (though not so eloquently). While it is as clear as the light of day to some, most choose to continue eating the manna from heaven. Ultimately, I think the answer lies in a good candle light dinner, a nice vintage, and some good sex ... translation: enjoy your life and while you may muse on the follies of others and the illusion of freedom, don't let it affect your enjoyment of life ... it is afer all, way too fleeting. As far as trading is concerned, the market always moves through emotional highs and lows, so it's just seeking a point of being extremely oversold, consolidation and, provided it appears that stabilization is occuring, most likely will be trading in a range bound fashion for the next several years until the next big <strike>fleece job</strike>, er, BULL MARKET occurs.
