Quote from hypostomus:
...aren't you supposed to be trading EUREX or DAX or some other third-world exchange now? You give yourself away.
ROFLBTC!
To be quite honest, I'd make a possibly very bold and maybe insulting, yet convinced guess that at least EUREX will kick the CME one day, and eventually the whole of American exchanges.
And I don't mean this to occur solely in the short period of devastation after a US-American nuclear holocaust triggered by a soviet janitor accidentally brushing a crucial switch during the occassional spring cleaning coinciding with the US "Star Wars" defense officer in command being distracted playing video games, causing NYC and Chicago to be evaporated in a scenario resembling the adventures of Fat Man and Little Boy.
No. I mean this could even occur if everything happens throughout a historically tolerable course of economical evolution, coupled with presidential mismanagement which could cause the United States to succumb to the economical power of Europe.
Please find attached an image that clarifies this situation. By the way, the translation of the Russian subtitles sounds: "How money is made".
I take great humbrage at your suggestion that my posts are intended to be humorous. This is a common experience for me, especially with women. When I am serious, they laugh. When I am trying to be funny, they cry.
ROFL! I think the primary problem here might be the always partially rotten and mischievously noisy squeaking and tearing hanging bridge of intersexual communication. What I mean is : It is not you, hypostomus. It is solely the "tower of Babel" situation that must exist between the males and females of any species in order to induce the continuing desire to express mutual appreciation in ways other than vocalized expressions of interest. What I mean can be summarized with 3 letters.
My posts are deadly serious. When you reach that age (and you will, if an offended poster does not seek you out) when death is no longer optional, you will realize that it is foolish to expend your precious waning moments on trivialities.
Hypostomus, It would frighten me to think you are serious about your many funny posts. Perhaps I would consider giving up my trading career to become a monk, for a life in celibate and seriosity, to find time to study and understand the subleties of hypostomus, god and other hilariously funny entities who supposedly were trying to be anything but funny.
Not that I am comparing you to god, hypostomus. Nothing like that. There is a subtle difference between the two of you; You might get to meet god after death. However, god, after he dies, might not have the honor to experience this. In fact, if we believe the teachings of Nietzsche, he might already be dead.
Another subtle difference is that god has never posted on ET, although some may think, confused by the amount of spiritual power and leadership, that he indeed speaks through Baron, Jack Hershey or Inandlong. Of course he might be indeed doing this, but there is an almost greater possibility that he isn't.
Hypostomus, on the other hand, might indeed be god himself, or expressing the sense of humor that has made god so popular on a world-wide scale. Just to think that his son is more famous than The Beatles is a scary thought in itself.
But this is all getting rather speculative now. Have a nice trading day!
Scientist.
