    touche. graphic work of that time is not my favourite thing. don't know, can't get enthusiastic about it. and since i'm not really interested, i hardly know any pieces.
    did you follow that hockney-lense thing? thought about it yesterday when i saw some caravaggio - actually i don't know if hockney did something specific on him, just when you look at that instanteneous clarity of the moment ...

  3. professor,

    your flowery response to my specific simple question fails to even begin to answer anything regarding the definition of your terms. the requirement to visit a faraway land to learn the "secrets"is quite reminiscent of the 18th century traveling medicine shows where one must "see it with your own eyes" to understand and believe. sorry professor, this "logic" does not work any longer.

    however, in the spirit of mutual cooperation and self betterment, i will overlook the obvious flaws in your answer and will ask the question again: what is the trading technology that you refer to that has improved 100fold over the past 15 years?

  4. So Florida was a Faraway land . . . considering you are in NY I can imagine why you feel that way. Again you are a total waste of my time. Talk to Hombre and ask him.

    Your confusion is obvious in seeing the results of your trading.

  5. once again you fail the most basic test. may i suggest the following tome so that you may hone your craft. simply replace the word medicine/medical with finance.

    Book Description

    <i>This authoritative and entertaining exhibition catalog explores the long visual history of a rich and neglected topic: medical quackery, from the itinerant seller of nostrums four centuries ago to the unsolicited spam of today's internet. Presenting a broad variety of material--prints by William Hogarth and Honoré Daumier, posters by Jules Chéret and Maxfield Parrish, and books by H. G. Wells and S. Weir Mitchell--Quack, Quack, Quack offers a delightful look at the remarkable artistry and elaborate language quacks used to peddle their wares: lavish pronouncements, excessive postures, and imaginatively exalted therapeutic promises.

    The earliest quacks, we see, dressed elaborately, inflated their credentials, and embraced an extravagant vocabulary to market their panaceas, at times claiming their pills and salves would cure all disease. They were succeeded in short order by the makers of proprietary medicines, many of whom adopted quack-style promotional methods while introducing new ones of their own. These vendors advertised widely--often with celebrity testimonials--publishing broadsides, posters, pamphlets, and manifestos to amplify their claims.

    And though recent strides in medicine mean that most people avoid quacks, and efforts have been made to rid society of patent-medicine makers, the quack survives to the present day, promising to make us all thinner, better-looking, healthier, or more sexually potent. This catalogue--and the 2002 New York City Grolier Club exhibition it originally accompanied--are fascinating reminders of how long such promises have been with us, and in how many unique and scintillating ways they've been made. </i>

  8. Hombre was the person YOU agreed to sit in, in Tampa, in your stead. The person who you agreed make an honest evaluation of what I do and stick to it.

    The person with the jet is biding his time to embarrass you on HIS time and in public.

    As usual you lied and aren't sticking to the agreement and now making snide remarks to me when you've been caught fumbling your hedge fund out of a $hit load of SOMEONE ELSE"S hard earned money.

    You're a loser the the highest order.
