"how do I get on this exclusive list?" You must be refering to the Mona Lisa short list. I filled out an application and answered the essay question correctly, puntiation counts. Suppose you tell me you believe in flying saucers. Let us further suppose that that behavior--the telling--is an indirect effect of your once having been shown a highly detailed and realistic photograph of what purported to be a flying saucer. The behavior of telling is itself an indirect effect of your belief that there are flying saucers--you are telling me what you actually believe. And that belief in turn is an effect of yet another prior belief: your belief that you were shown the photograph. And this belief that you were shown the photograph was originally supported by yet prior beliefs of yours about all the details in the photograph you were shown. Those beliefs about the particular details of the photograph and the immediate perceptual environment of your looking at it were themselves short-lived effects--effects of having seen the photograph. They may all have faded away into oblivion, but these beliefs had their onset in your memory at the very moment--or very shortly thereafter--that you had the conscious visual perception of the photograph. You believe you saw the photograph because you did see the photograph.
Bright is roughly a $50-100 million firm... Built from scratch by a group of hard-nosed Las Vegas businessmen... In a highly competitive industry... in a cutthroat town. This whole Cramer thread is a variation on the "Straw Man" rhetorical device... (From an Absolute Master of rhetorical devices)... To contrast Good Samaritan Bright... "Helping" desperate wannabe "traders" achieve their Dreams... With the "unbelievable" Naked Avarice of Evil Cramer... Who is actually selling the exact same same Dream... But in a downmarket WWF style. Man, the Kool Aid sure tastes good... As we wait for the Grand Finale... A mud-wrestling showdown between Don and Jim on pay-per-view TV... Hosted by a new, conflict-of-interest-free Maria... And a crush of screaming, semi-naked, big breasted Vegas showgirls.
I like calling Cramer on my cell phone. It makes my ear feel good. __________________ Please, I'm not a daytrader, I'm an "Intraday Liquidity Provider" 1-888-TRADEUP
That is hilarious. Especially when the forum has a built in spell checker. Disclaimer: I don't know what your argument is about and I don't care.
Don, Please remember to log out of ET when you step away from your computer. And keep the sliding glass doors between the house and the pool area locked. The pool boy has got in and sat himself down in front of your computer and IS POSTING IN YOUR NAME!!! Again. Besides the fictitious PPT, he believes in the Easter Bunny and the International Naked Short Conspiracy too. His posts don't help your credibility here. I know you like the young man, but you really should fire him over this. Got your back, Emilio
Emilio, the "Plunge Protection Team" is called "Presidentâs Working Group on Financial Markets". Here's a picture of the PPT leaders, from the US treasury, dated November 14, 2003: http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/2003111415314423478.htm "The Presidentâs Working Group on Financial Markets (the âWorking Groupâ) was established by Executive Order 12631 in March 1988 in response to the stock market crash in October 1987."
OK, Emilio, I'm really sorry...I'll lock the door...and just because I live near Area 51, and have many friends who I swear are aliens, I guess life is just one big dream. All I did was suggest some research, and googling is pretty easy. I also us "One Click Answers" - finds all sorts of "stuff" of interest, IMO. See above (Dynamic) for other imaginary ideas. LOL. All the best, Don
