Thanks keys. The book looks promising. I’m def reading as many industry reports as I can get my hands on… though it is all so overwhelming. Anyway I can get in touch w/ you?
Careful with Lemmas. One follows another up and up and pretty soon they all run off a cliff. Oh wait… Those are lemmings. But some quant funds are like that too with their lemmas.

And I think he is much more connected to reality than the average AF cee eff ay fanboy.

This has to be it
so naive - cant you just click on page 8 and look at the length of the scrollbar compared to the one on the current page. it clearly is not ready for 10 yet, thats not it either.
for you superbowl partiers: BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP 2 [10 ounce] cans chunk chicken, drained 2 [8 ounce]packages cream cheese, softened 1 cup Ranch dressing 3/4 cup red hot sauce 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Heat chicken and red hot until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and Ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half the cheddar cheese and transfer mixture to a slow cooker.Sprinkle of the remaining cheese over top, cover, and cook on low setting until hot and bubbly.
‘‘so naive - cant you just click on page 8 and look at the length of the scrollbar compared to the one on the current page. it clearly is not ready for 10 yet, thats not it either.’’ Whatever about being naive, its just sad that I am spending my time trying to get a forum to go to 10 pages, maybe this could be it… didnt actually bother checking the scroller bar…
Maybe you could get 11 pages on 11/11/11
