    Was Edward de Bono a genius or just a master of gibberish

    True in large part, but I think it can be safely stated that the resulting entomology of an Amazonian jungle air crash is not totally dissimilar to the results of a number of NYC financial managers bearing largely similar characteristics. :cool:

    Options trading learning tool

    Interesting. A suggestion: with lots of space in the app and targeting a broad audience, go with more verbose labels to make selections more clear to those that have interest in options, but may not be fully familiar w the abbreviations. Cheers! T

    Silly, silly question about commodity futures

    Also, research USDA regs/inspection of slaughtered meat for sale to understand the workaround. A knowledgeable meat cutter is gold. All our state’s small/medium slaughterhouses are now booked two years out.
