Dear Sir or Madam or Other
I feel impelled to write and draw your attention to the apparent tabloidization of your august newspaper which has up to now been an honorable and traditionally high level broadsheet. I am dismayed however to read an article today which was obviously and deliberately directed towards the sympathy for dumb animals angle, so common these days when previously erudite and intellectual papers are dumbed down for the common person or trader, as these types are sometimes known. What's next? Page 3 feline hooters of the day?
I have also noticed a tendency toward poor speling and grammer creeping in. Please refrain from these inclinations and please adhere to the expression of good English like what I do and me peers.
I hope you will return to your previously excellent standards.
Yours faithfully
Mr Angry
from St Pete's
ps I hope the kitty gets better quickly (please don't print this part, thank you)

Quote from tampa:
Did I ever tell you about my breakfast buddy?
Almost two tears ago my wife was in a snit, and wouldnât let me smoke in the house. So if I wanted to light one up I had to go sit out on the front porch â like some kind of a leper.
Day or night, rain or shine â I would sit out there puffing away. One morning I went out and found this stray cat sitting in my chair! Of course I chased the little bastard, I hate cats. Well the next morning heâs back â only now heâs in the other chair. I chased him any way. The following morning the little bastard is back AGAIN. But now itâs raining â I chased him anyway.
I felt bad about running him off. He was dirty, skinny as a rail, and obviously homeless. That night I picked up a bag of cat food. The next morning I went out, and sure enough he was sound asleep in the chair. So I brought him a bowl of water, and the cat food. This went on for weeks. He became my breakfast buddy.
Slowly, very slowly we became friends. I moved the food and water just inside the door - âthen a few feet in side, and finally all the way down the hall into the kitchen. Heâd be out front every morning, like clockwork. And then for lunch, and then for supper, even a late night snack. I came to look forward to his visits, and then one day he never left.
Believe it or not, a few months later, it happened again. Another stray just showed up, and now she lives here as well. I went from cat hater, to the proud owner of the two finest felines on the block. These stupid cats have come to mean the world to me (us).
Last night my former breakfast buddy was sitting in my wifeâs lap, and the little girl was over by me as we watched the news. For no apparent reason, he jumped down, and casually walked out of the room. Within a few seconds we heard this awful crash, followed by these god-awful screams. My buddy was having a caesurae. It lasted for about ten minutes.
Heâs done little more then sleep ever since, and I am worried sick. It was foolish to even think about trading today â how the hell can you trade when your best friend is hurting so?
did your "buddy" have a seizure or delivery its own baby (kitten) with a scalpel?
12:43 Sold @ 1108 ½ It was too obvious to pass up.
01:37 Covered @ 1096 ½ for +12 points.
01:58 MY instincts tell me that there is one more good push down to come, but my head (heart) just ainât in it. With the recovery from this morningâs debacle, I will probably call it a day.
4 R/T +4 points on the day.

Clearly the Street was not pleased with the news of the AL QUAEDA CAMEL WASH designed to raise money for still more dastardly deeds â of course readers of this Journal had sufficient warning to profit from the downdraft. Other so called advisories waste their time, and your money looking in all the wrong places for heads up information that can make money for their readers â we go to The Weekly World News because we know that the movers and shakers are influenced by the outstanding reporting to be found in Americaâs premiere publication.
Unfortunately, our own trading was not as profitable as it could have been due to the oversight involving that little report that came out at 10 oâclock this morning. So what do you want from me â blood? I managed to recover the losses, and than some. I don't want to take shots at other Journals (actually I do, but Magna the Magnificent would just delete them) , but I think it can safely be said that you learn things here that are simply not available anywhere else.

Right after lunch today I will be conducting an on line seminar detailing the tampa technique â by far the most astonishing trading method yet discovered. I am pleased to announce that it is SOLD OUT.
The response has been overwhelming, with most of Wall Streetâs top traders signing up for this once in a lifetime event. Therefor, I would expect trading to virtually come to a halt when the seminar begins later today.
Traders unable to attend are advised to enter the market at their own risk due to the expected poor liquidity.
