  3. He has shown no trading stats and no realtime trades.
    So this thread is total B.S.

    Yup, possible.

    Half of me is like ,, He's full of s",
    the rest ,,What if it's true, something worthwhile to share"

  8. A cautionary tale --almost beside the point whether it's true.

    So Santa brings VZ a collection of Mark Twain's short stories. Of course one of my favorite writers.
    Anyway, there's one in there called "The Million Pound Bank Note".
    The similarity between this story and "Trading Places".... hmmm.... pretty sure I know where they got the idea for that movie now.

    EDIT:
    Henry Adams, a clerk in a San Francisco stockbroker's office, is swept out to sea while sailing one weekend. He is rescued by a ship bound for London and must work during the voyage to earn his passage, and he arrives in the city with his clothing in rags and only one dollar in his pocket. Two very rich and eccentric brothers spot him and give him an envelope with no information. Seeing money inside the envelope, Henry immediately heads for a cheap dining house and eats a meal; afterward, he discovers that the money is a single bank note for one million pounds sterling, the equivalent of $5 million in United States currency. Without knowing it at the time, Henry has become the subject of a £20,000 bet between the brothers.
