    Literary Classics and Trading

    Thank you for humoring an old man, but I am not yet ready to dispense the trading lesson, ET will have to sit up and beg for it. In any event, the literary reference is two-fold. The Hamlet emphasizes that what I will assert is undreamt of in ET's conventional wisdom because there is a scarce...

    Literary Classics and Trading

    How apropos! Very clever, OT even, but have you done the work? Have you followed my instructions? They were quite clear.

    You will recall that Freud's first chapter was entitled (in translation) "Forgetting of Proper Names."

    my current setup

    Mr. N'hoki, something is not quite right here. I looked up RUT for 4 January and it was around 618. Now I don't know ER2, but I don't think it trades at a 3% premium over cash.
