You don't have to admire the character or find him attractive to enjoy the movie. Did you find Hannibal Lecter admirable?H.

The only way to play the stock market is to start company's and take the public and sell the worthless paper to suckers. The houses get a commission and make a profit either way. The company's transform worthless paper into CASH. It's win-win for everyone except the 'consumer'.<br /><br />There are 10's of thousands of books written about numbers and play the game 'The Turtle' for example. These days ALL the big money is done on nanosecond trading. There were story's in the 30's of guys playing numbers games, but now the guys use super computers and enter and exit trades quicker than they can be cleared.<br /><br />The best book on the stock market is 'where are the customer yachts', written in the 1940's and points out clearly the game, and who keeps the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529575095156315075.post-61013366619159717362011-11-06T15:52:15.541-08:002011-11-06T15:52:15.541-08:00"Here's why I don't bother to look at..."Here's why I don't bother to look at the bestseller lists.
