A deal I'm privvy to: signed escrow papers two weeks ago on a 6 1/2 M deal. Was 8. Two prospective buyers walked. Price was lowered 20% and escrow terms tightened so if the buyers walk they'll lose alot of earnest money. NV.

Like forgetting it's a fed day and takin' a piss at 1:57pm without stops only to return and the market moved 1%. OOOpps

Mea culpa. Just looking for a fight I guess. More brawler than brains I suppose. But that's what a futures trader should be?

No offense. I'm certainly not trying to start a flame war. All in good fun you know... Weimar is a city in Germany. It is located in the Bundesland of Thuringia (German: Thüringen), north of the Thüringer Wald, east of Erfurt, and southwest of Halle and Leipzig. Its current population is...

Early commentators frequently diagnosed a syphilitic infection as the cause of the breakdown; however, some of Nietzsche's symptoms seem inconsistent with typical cases of syphilis. Some have diagnosed a form of brain cancer, possibly inherited from his father. While most commentators regard...
