Huh? I've never seen meat so cheap in my life. Boneless skinless
chicken breasts at $1.70/lb, top sirloin $1.90/lb, salmon fillets
$3.00/lb. I don't even bother to stock up anymore because the prices
keep falling. Bad karma to kill animals. You might wind up a
brightly colored deer in your next life.

is okay as long as we agree to disagree. I could have a mechanical
trading system. After 30 years in the computer industry and several
million lines of code I am a fairly competent programmer in C, C++,
PC Assembler, Visual Basic, etc, etc, etc. I am retired now so my
days, nights and weekends all kind of run together. If I were going
to trade with a mechanical system I would just open a managed Futures
account and let it go at that. I love the trading business for what
it is and I love to trade. The thrill of winning and the agony of
defeat and all that stuff. I enjoy challenging the market place,
doing the analysis, deciding which markets to trade, calculating
entry and exit points, testing new trading ideas/concepts and all the
other work that goes along with being in control of ones destiny. I
do not and will not insult my intelligence by watching television so
trading is my profession, hobby and entertainment. When most people
are sitting down in front of the stupid tube after dinner I go to my
computer room and trade. Different strokes for different folks.
After spending all day with me I think my wife is glad to get rid of
me for a while in the evening :-).

relationship with God the father and my savior Jesus Christ. In the
final accounting at judgement day we are all going to be held
accountable for the way we lived our lives and that is all that is
going to matter.
