  Subject: [RT] Just a Joke?
  Hi,This was sent to me by a contractor who 
  used to work for me many years ago, and is now a director of a US based 
  software company.His passion has always been horse betting and so it 
  was presented in terms of a horse punters dream.He calls this 
  "Dilbert's Theorum".   While I have no idea of the original source, 
  I thought others might enjoy it too, re-expressed in traders 
  terms.Hope you do enjoy it.<FONT face=arial 
  size=3>Starting with two cliches: 
                  'knowledge 
  is 
  power',                'time 
  is money'.and one concept that all bosses can relate 
  to:                service 
  provided is a measure of work done.In mathematical 
  terms:                knowledge 
  = 
  power,                time 
  = 
  money,                service 
  provided = work done.And the equation for power in physics 
  is:                power 
  = work / time.Substituting, we 
  get:                knowledge 
  = service provided / money.Rearranging we 
  get:                money 
  = service provided / knowledge.So for traders this 
  is:                trading 
  profits = service provided / knowledge.As service demanded is the 
  negative of service provided, this gives 
  us:                trading 
  profits = - service demanded / knowledge,and finally multiplying both 
  sides by -1 we 
  get:                trading 
  losses = service demanded / knowledge.So for us traders wanting to 
  maximise our losses (!) all we have to do is one or both 
  of:        -       maximise 
  our service 
  demanded,        -       minimise 
  our knowledge.It is so easy to get as big a trading loss as we 
  want!Just maximise our urgency for service.Or avoid sharing 
  any real knowledge by sharing as many tips and whims as possible (by sharing 
  individual trades actual or planned entries and exits).If we can do 
  both simultaneously how much faster we can exhaust our accounts!Let's 
  go for it, the one with the biggest trading loss gets the most crowd 
  support.Unfortunately some take this joke all to seriously.May 
  your potential be realised, Ric.<A href="http://www.traderscalm.com/";
