Jay:
How about the amazing mailing now going around that 'allows' you to
buy the 'very' indicators that allowed famous trader and all around
neat guy Paul Tudor Jones to amass a fortune in the futures markets
for the small sum of only $3995 [that includes the discount for buying
all *7*, count 'em, *7* D-whatever indicators...thus implying that
you, too, will amass a Tudor-esque fortune, if you'll only throw in a
measly $3995!
And then you get to ski in Gstaad, too!!
