    chopped a bit and laid off the midday chop

  6. Rs8.5

    Rs8.5

    I don't know what the dialogue from the movie was, but the correct term is "checks". The fact that people call them "chips" is just a common misnomer. There are in fact "chips" in a casino. They are at the roulette tables. They have no denomination. Just a color to differentiate one player from the next. If a guy is playing green chips, they may be worth whatever they are designated to be worth when he or she buys in.

    "Chips" with a denomination on them are "checks".

    More trivial and mostly useless info from your's truly. If you call them "chips" in a casino, it is unlike anyone will correct you.

    BTW, "Doesnt" should be spelled "Doesn't"!

    Peace,

  9. ... for some reason you're the only one who understood the minor point I was trying to make. It was well worth sitting out the midday period though. Late in the day was meat and potatoes trading (as was the AM)!

    -- I think we should put this tired thread out of it's misery. By the power invested in me by (see attached), I hereby declare this thread useless beyond comprehension!:cool:

    My girlfriend and I watched it tonight...couldn't help myself after this thread and all the quotes lately. Her comment: "This movie teaches guys [guy traders] such bad habits". She's a trader...worth considering. :D
