  2. amazing what people will do to deny their positions. :D
     
  3. Just wait until we have the Keystroke Crash of '07.
     
  4. I'm starting to believe that. These systems obviously have some interlocks to prevent the entry of powers of 10 in the quantity field. Yet they blame it on the computer when things go against them.

  5. Well, if they said that they are going to sell the position out, wouldn't you want to get short in front of/before them. He almost has to say that they don't plan to sell.

  8. The economics of supply and demand say that she would have to hire you. :)
