  1. Are you a old geezer? I qualify by your criteria to be a young geezer I suppose.

    Unfortunately, yes. I've been trading so long I can now repeat the same mistakes I made as a rookie and not realize it.

    ill back him up on the fact that even though it was not a tiger... the lingo is different country to country. it goes for all kinds of things. here a "trailer" is an 18 wheel truck. Lingo will change country to country. Where is live good food is "rico" or rich. I said that once in mexico and they thought i was crazy...they say "sabroso". In england...an english muffin is called a buscuit. where as to me a buscuit is somethhing you put gravy on.

    after you are in the environment for a while, you start saying the same things...becomes a habit. you even start to stumle around with your native lanuguge. Here we have lots of jaguars...but locals sometimes call them "pumas". i wouldnt doubt the locals calling any big cat a"tigre", even though it is not a tiger.

  4. That is because the el braino short circuits and simply shunts around the old recorded mistakes. Know what I mean man?
