Thanks evil for link!...I like this funny post from discussion
Ben on phone: Hello Angie?
Angela: Ja.
Ben: This is Ben.
Angela: Oh, hi Benny.
Ben: Hi Angie. As you know I'm going to release my new scheme...errr, I mean, plan, to stimulate the economy this afternoon.
Angela: Ja.
Ben: And as you also know I can't do jack squat to really stimulate the economy...
Angela: Ja.
Ben: ...so naturally I'm going to have to talk up some mumbo jumbo about continuing Operation Twist...
Angela; Ja.
Ben: ...so when it first hits the wires the stock markets and the Euro will drop...
Angela: ...ja.
Ben: ...so I'm going to need you and Humpty to...
Angela: Who's Humpty?
Ben: Humpty van Rompuy.
Angela: Ja, ja, of course.
Ben: Right. Anyway, I'm going to need you and Humpty to wait until the Dow goes about 80 or 90 points in the red and then release a statement that things in Europe are improving or some...
Angela: Ja
Ben: ...or something like that, maybe throw in some crap about funding bond purchases or whatever and I'll coordinate that with my boys over at the PPT so we can fill in the gap and blow out the shorts and finish green, we'll have our people in the media reporting what a great plan it is and how the economy is improving because look at the stock market blah blah blah.
Angela: Ja, got it.
Ben: Great, talk to you soon, bye Angie.
Angela: Ja, bye Benny.
My satisfaction always came from beating the market, solving the puzzle. The money was the reward, but it was not the main reason I loved the market (Jess Livermore)
