.... if someone takes the lead and makes it obvious where the NYC people are..... this could all work. I will be on the lookout for anyone I know from New York. I am a tall red-head who will most likely be with another woman and a guy. The other woman has long red hair. Thanks...

.... i think that despite everyone's complaints.... that it isn't as bad as it appears.... and all electronic markets are a joke..... yes the specialists have a very valuable franchise, that they undoubtedly capitalize on but even if you do accuse them of 155 million dollars of trading in front...

Bob Kantor made the tapes and he is still one of the best traders - I traded with them in the beginning (say like 94) - and I met with Bob last year - I ultimately went elsewhere because of a complex capital and trading partners situation but they are honest and decent people.

Sure.... it would be great to have some new friends who are trading.....

...consciously or unconsciously, 'they' are trying to bring you down - out of jealousy, insecurity etc. assuming you care about these people and still want them to love you, all you can do is be empathetic to their reactions. but you also need someone to be able to talk to to get the...

The idea is that the unconscious is giving the person the idea to correct the original problem by continuning to create it - if the associated feeling can be brought into consciousness and felt - ie energy of the feeling expended and released - then the unconscious will not have to try to get it...

db... if it works for you, then great. for me, uncovering the unconscious emotions works. keep up the good work!
