Quote from ljyoung:
In the spirit of self-criticism espoused by Chairman Mao (the scum-sucking, $%^&***^$#@$*) and having reflected further on the questions posed last PM, I currently believe that nkhoi's point about the V being sucky and that's what should drive the characterization of that set of bars, is the most correct. The "hybrid" thing while cute, is not really worth considering further.
After all, unless one gets into "relative" HVS (and I don't think one wants to) then with the absolute V being (per Point 1's calculations for the Nikkei Index) in DU, the volatility (H-L) isnot high, as PV would dictate. End of this story - but see the attachment for more HVS antics. In the attachment is a picture of my daughter's cat and a "Jack Joke". Jack is a funny guy. Jack and MAK are smart guys. It is my sincere hope that some of you learned something from my ill-conceived question. I laugh at myself (ho, ho, ho - Hunter S. Thompson) because it's the right thing to do.
