Hi, It looks as if good ole' human nature has kicked in - you know the little voice that says it couldn't happen to us. As a trader you experience it when the market moves against you and say to yourself "that it'll turn and go my way in a minute" Going back to the serious problem of BSE - in the UK some people reckon the problem might have originated when the animal rendering industry lobbied to reduce the temprature of the process from 1500C to 1000C+ - the reduced temp. allowing the protein prions to survive. I really hope that this outbreak is limited.
