Quote from aPismoClam:

blah blah blah.

everyone from his mechanic to the toll booth operator will fleece him every chance they get.

I am truly sorry that you have such a cynical outlook on life. I use RapidPass and take my car to be serviced at a technical college. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I probably do each and every day.

A market is created when two or more people agree on price but disagree on value.

50% of all contracts are in a winning position. 90% of traders lose long term.

Interesting exploration, trying to figure out why.

Perhaps one reason is most traders don't understand the underlying structure of both the market and themselves.
