Is Dementia Contagious?

Thanks, 225, exactly what I was experiencing. Suceurs des pines! (That's cocksuckers for you non-frog talkers).
Poor demented N.Q. Enqueue sent me this image, with a feverish note that said "Buy Monday!" Plus some ranting about ET not believing his Confabulator oscillator. Does anybody know what he meant? I doubled his dose of lithium carbonate to 600mg twice a day, and advised him to stay away from ET for a few weeks. Or else it's back to the "hospital" for him and a return to his "cocktails".

Bearbelly, I feel your pain. So even though you are not a therapy client, I will give you one of my placebo systems to ease your angst. It is my favorite, as it actually makes a little money. I fondly call it KKK: Kraepelin's Kreative Krossover. KKK is perfect for you. It is a shit-simple red-light-short, green-light-long system. It incorporates elements that you will find comfortable from SCT: no stops, always reverses, always in the market. Example from yesterday attached. It only lost $30 before commission, which I'll bet is a lot less than you lost trading SCT. No need to thank me, your trading comfort is all the thanks I need. All the best, Emil.

Emil, I just found this in a post by "you-know-who" (don't want to trigger his egotistical search engine, might give him engina):
"SF honored a program they financed that I ran. My Econ Prof was in the audience. We spoke afterwards. He siad:" I remember you, John, you were always asking questions." "
Doncha think his econ prof is DEAD by now?

"The Q's they ask, then, are those that lead the didactic {sic}further."
The elderly should not try to use big words they don't understand which are easily confused with other big words they don't understand. Although the quoted author is in fact "didactic", in this context, the proper word to use is "dialectic".

the young have a very limited vocabulary. the vocabulary that they have they don't know how to use.
"youth is wasted on the young"
correct?
Ever alert to medical interventios which will help ET's senior citizen traders, I post this as a public service.
"Imbibing may slow dementia in seniors"
By Kathleen Fackelmann, USA TODAY
Up to one alcoholic drink a day may slow the development of dementia, including Alzheimer's, in seniors who already have mild memory problems, a study reports today.
Other reports have suggested that light to moderate drinking appears to protect healthy people from Alzheimer's, a progressive brain disease that afflicts 5 million people in the USA. But Italian researcher Vincenzo Solfrizzi says his is the first study to suggest that an alcoholic drink a day might help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often precedes Alzheimer's.
What kind of alcoholic beverage is best? The study, which appears in today's Neurology, doesn't answer that question. But wine, and particularly red wine, contains natural chemicals called polyphenols that might protect the aging brain from Alzheimer's, Solfrizzi says.
The Italian team studied 1,445 healthy adults 65 and older and 121 who already had been diagnosed with MCI. People with the condition experience more than the usual age-related memory glitches, but they don't show other signs of dementia, such as impaired reasoning, says Solfrizzi, a geriatrician at the University of Bari in Italy.
For almost four years, the team kept track of the participants and had them take memory tests to reveal the development of MCI or outright dementia, including Alzheimer's.
Solfrizzi's team also asked the seniors if they were in the habit of drinking beer, wine or a drink with a shot of alcohol such as gin or vodka. People who responded yes were asked how much alcohol they consumed each day.
People who already had MCI at the start of the study appeared to gain protection from additional memory loss: The researchers found that drinking just half a glass of wine or less than a beer or some other kind of alcoholic drink a day seemed to decrease the rate of progression from MCI to full dementia, including Alzheimer's.
Many of the Italians in the study said they drank several glasses of red wine every day, Solfrizzi says. And the good news from other research is this: Moderate drinking â one or even two glasses of wine a day â just might help stave off dementia and other ailments such as clogged arteries and heart disease, says Gary Small, director of the University of California-Los Angeles Center on Aging.
But Small and other experts don't recommend that people start drinking just to gain a possible health benefit.
"You have to be very cautious," says Ron Petersen, a spokesman for the Chicago-based Alzheimer's Association and a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
He says heavy drinking can actually cause memory loss and other serious health problems. And older people who may not be used to drinking risk getting tipsy and taking a serious fall.
"Even one glass can be too much," he says.
