  2. Are you nuts???? Do you know how much gas is? Johnnie Walker Black is much cheaper, and it's got a cleaner burn.

  4. I was looking at all these systems on the site for ES, YM, YAWN, SOS, and SOL programs. Too sophisticated.

    but I do have one that has been successful in all backtest scenarios.

    I take a suit, can be any suit out of a deck of cards, and take out the face cards. I randomly toss the cards face up, and my Springer Spaniels paw them. I pick the first two she taps, and that's the Daily Double. Now this works equally well for Dog or Horse racing. Keep going for quiniellas, and the pick fours, all that stuff.

    I did tweak it a bit. After so- so results, I got a picture of Michael Vick. Results were markedly better.

  5. You mention all these trading programs. I'm more old school...I trade in person and occasionally use the rotary phone to place my trades.

    Just the otehr day, I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I wanted to sell so I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank. Short line. Just one guy in front of me…

    The guy in front of me was an Asian guy who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and he was a little pissed…

    He asked the teller, “Why it change? Yestoday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen ~ today I get hunat eighty? Why it change?”

    The teller says, “Fluctuations.”

    The Asian guy says, “Fluc you people too!”

  6. Two stock brokers are in a bank, when, suddenly, armed robbers burst in, waving guns and yelling for everyone to freeze. While several of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers, including the two stock brokers, up against a wall, and proceed to take their wallets, watches, and other valuables.

    While this is going on, one of the stock brokers jams something into the other stockbroker's hand. Without looking down, the second stockbroker whispers: "What is this?"

    The first stockbroker : "It's the $100 I owe you!"

  8. While the U.S. stock market was at an all time high, the ups and downs frightened a lot of small investors. A guy went to his financial adviser at the bank and ask if he were worried.

    He replied that he slept like a baby.

    He was amazed and asked, "Really? Even with all the fluctuations?"

    He said, "Yes. I sleep for a couple of hours, then wake up and cry for a couple of hours, then a get asleep again, wake up again for some more crying..."

  9. my 10 yrd old nephew is starting to skateboard. His dad said not until I buy you your pads. I didn't have any pads growing up. You fell, you got hurt, and you made damn sure you didn't cry. Last I checked, kids aren't that much farther from the ground today than I was back then...

    Maybe the concrete is much more dangerous these days.

    That's the problem you know...kids think it's ok to cry...

  10. For many years, a young stock broker at Big Street Investments would plan a yearly weekend getaway at a mountain Inn.
    He would rendez-vous with the innkeeper's daughter while he was there.

    Looking forward to this years trip he departed with his suitcases in hand. When he arrived at the Inn he made his way up the stairs to his usual meeting room. The door was open and he walked in glancing at the Innkeeper daughter sitting on the bed.

    There she sat with an infant on her lap!

    "Who is that he asked."

    "It's your son" she answred.

    "Why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married, and the child would have my name!"

    "Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition, we sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and we finally decided it would be better to have a bastard in the family than a stock broker.
