I think all three have different social backgrounds, industry identifications (I think a wrong phrase) that overall puts them all high up on the map. I've spent a lot of time in both states but never been to Sweden nor am I'm familiar with its industries / population. Yet, what about this...

I'm not sure why you're persisting with this. Yet, I'll repeat one more time because I do not believe you are reading my messages or maybe have "skipped" through my message post because their too long instead of reading them entirely (I'm being sarcastic by the way)...don't take that statement...

destriero, Be careful. This has happen before with another ET member but involving trading the Emini ES futures via volatility but nothing like the mathematical analytics models like yours. ET member discover those involved and their website(s)...had Google and DMCA Protection do a "takedown"...

Come on...Pitch-fork... Last night I watched Aqua Man and the Justice League with my youngest one. The Pitch Fork scenes was wild. You're saying that destriero is Aqua Man ? :D wrbtrader
