Inspired yet again by $$MrMarket$$, I am working on a Manliness Index. In these times where most activity has been relentlessly feminized, extremely manly men like $$MrMarket$$ and yours truly are often frustrated by the need to demonstrate one's superior manliness in socially tolerated ways. I think we can all agree that we desperately need an objective measure of true manliness. This could have important implications for everyday activity, for example online dating. By screening potential dates by MI, women would be able to avoid the frustration of going out with Alan Alda wimp types. I can envision a time when companies will routinely expect to see an applicant's MI on his resume. Obviously, there are important apllications in politics as well. As a nation we could avoid the humiliation of having any more Jimmy Carter/Bill Clinton girlie men presidents. Of course, as in many activities the devil is in the details. Some traditional measures of manliness are just too subjective. For example making a babe squeal like a pig is definitely an important manly trait, but how can we ever expect to measure the intensity of the squealing? It would also be necessary to adjust for the propensity of some women to squeal with less provocation than others, not that AAA has ever had any trouble getting them to annoy the neighbors. So, regretfully, that is out. Luckily, we do have objective measures of most of the most important manly traits. I think we can all agree that such things as strength, athletic ability, what we drive and earning ability are manly, and anyone deficient in these areas might consider getting a testosterone patch from their physician. Thus, the official MI will be derived by the following calculation: (Max bench press/body weight)*100 + (max golf drive-10*handicap) + (total number of cylinders in vehicles owned)*(10*sum of vehicles that are motorcycles, trucks, stickshift sports cars, airplanes or boats) + max annual earnings/1000. Are you manly? Rate yourself by the following handy scale. MI value Rating >1000 MrMarket territory, you rule dude 750-1000 Men respect you, women crave you 500-750 You have female friends and kids like you 250-500 You defer to women in most matters <250 Your dog is embarrassed by you
============================================= Nice call Jack....you still watching???? Your out 7 points...but im sure you will annalyse it in such a way so you can look right
C'mon Jack... it's pretty obvious by now that you know nothing about trading whereas Mr. Market is the king of the Market. All hail Mr. Market. Then again... it's also pretty obvious that Mr. Market is hiding something here.... HIS SKIN!!!
============================================= Cmon...im only messing with you BUT....Be a man like i was and apolgize to MM and say: " Mr. Market, you were right and i was wrong and i know nothing about the stock market or trading in general"... Say it ! SAY IT!!
Please show us how you came up with your 8% calculation. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to show us what a genius you really are. You'll have to go step by step since I am obviously your intellectual inferior.
Well you see, at least I can take the mickey out of myself since I don't take myself as serious as you do. You see, I'm not insecure. But you are. Anybody in doubt please read the -name of this thread- again. You're just here for entertainment, mrmonster. Or am I wrong? You are the clown of the ET boards. Nobody takes you serious. I hope you're happy living like that. I don't know of any physique-inefficiency, but if it exists, I'd prefer it to a keratene-abundance any day. ~Scientist
You are correct. Many of the people on this board amuse me, some not intentionally, but the net effect still prevails. Post on! I am HUGE!
Don't waste your time on challenging the inferior, jack hershey. That's a fool's play. If you're so good and wealthy why don't you even get together your own website? Yahoo boards... LOL. ~Scientist
This guy appears to suffer heavily from delusions of grandeur. Maybe you should speak to a professional. ...
As you suggest: I read it in a post in this thread as done by a person using a normal assessment method. I think at the time you missed it because of emotional stress and leaving the thread. I'll repost it if you can't find it. Mostly everyone in the thread agreed at the time of the post. It was detailed out so as to show what is what vis a vis your rules. There were additonal comments about lost opportunity costs. I hope it give you a wake up call. You are only a few steps away from shaping up to make money. It may piss you off a little when you catch on. By seeing NFI didn't ake 4 to 6 weeks, you are getting a clue. I rolled out of HOV and into another stock. This week I am rolling out of KMX and SAPE on the same basis. Holding 6 days is enough for your target, I don't do targets though; I just take what's on the table. I don't think we met when I was adj prof at Wharton (grad faculty) connected via UCSC. I am not the Jack Hershey there at Penn now.
