    IMHO: Besides morons, the 312 particles are also held together by exchanging elementary particles like slimyons, shamelessons, liarons, politicsons, etc. :p :p :p

    Cboe

    Yes. That happened to me few times: I put in a limit order to write some options. Even though the bid price rose to the limit price, the order was not filled for minutes. The market makers just took their time. I tried to cancel the order, and it was filled at lightening speed. :p :p...

    Non-resident vs. citizen

    One of my friends in New York City has not been working for decades. His whole family(over 10 people) live by collecting rents at Hong Kong and Queens. Few years ago, they were considering giving up the US citizenships for taxes purposes. They finally decided against it. I think I know the...

    All indicators useless?

    Yes. For the past five months, I have not been looking at any technical indicators at all. Just make sure that there are a lot of small winners and no big losers. I ***THINK*** it all depends on your trading styles though. Just my two cents. :p :p :p :D :D :D

    Worldco R.I.P. 1993-2003 ?

    Yes. When NASDAQ was above 5,100 in March 2000, who would guess that it could drop below 1,150 in less than 32 months. In 1999 and early 2000, a lot of people were starting their own businesses, Now, most people are glad to have a job, even though their companies have eliminated 401(k)...

    D.E Shaw

    They lost a lot of money in 1998. In September 1998, they had about 1,000 employees globally. I doubt that they had more than 300 in September 1999. However, it is March 2003 now. Things may have changed a lot since then .......... :p :p :p :D :D :D
