Not Today Prolific tampa did not trade today, saying: "Look I'm not paranoid or anything, but did you see the afternoon action? Chop. chop. up, down. Do you know why?

Quah Quits? "No way", said ET's preeminent systems developer. The brilliant Quah is said to be working on a new all but fool proff method for trading the E-Mini S&P. Sources tell "The Skirt" that if the fat baldheaded trader on the third step in the Big Pit leaves to go to the men's room, and the head floor trader with Merrill is on the floor - go long. However, if the Solomon runner is in a red jacket - go short. Quah is expected to release final details for this new system later in the week.

Disaster Strikes! On what should have been a red letter day for the lovable aphexcoil, with the release of the long awaited âJasperâ trading application, disaster struck instead. Mister Subliminal, one of ETâs most popular members (if not the swiftest), downloaded and attempted to use the apparent âbugâ ridden application. Subliminal suffered major losses, and sustained a margin call as well. Still reeling from the devastating loss when contacted by âThe Daily Skirtâ, Subliminal was undecided as to bringing legal action against the novice programmer. Veteran ET members said that they suspect that aphexcoil will have his posting privileges suspended, if not revoked. Meanwhile, Subliminal is negotiating a mortgage on the family farm to meet the margin call.
