Hi all, a little digression: I was sent the employment ad below and just thought to quickly post it here (I know, I know, this is not the job section _{yeah, yeah}  )

Open outcry is the name of a method of communication between professionals on a stock exchange or futures exchange which involves shouting and the use of hand signals to transfer information primarily about buy and sell orders.[1]
Examples of markets which use this system in the United States are the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX). In the United Kingdom, the London Metal Exchange still makes use of open outcry.
The open outcry system is being replaced by electronic systems (CATS and Globex). The supporters of electronic trading claim that they are faster, cheaper, more efficient for users, and less prone to manipulation by market makers and broker/dealers. However, many traders advocate for the open outcry system on the basis that the physical contact allows traders to speculate as to a buyer/seller's motives or intentions and adjust their positions accordingl

Top Ten Tips for Staying Sane in this bearish market


1. Don't panic. Enough people are doing that already; you're needed elsewhere.

2.Don't join the Panic Crowd. They are NOT having more fun, they just act that way to attract new members fold. Misery loves company.

3. Take inventory. Do you have the basic necessities? If so, you are OK. When they come to take away your television remote control, then panic.

4.Smile at your neighbor. A smile lifts everybody's spirits, but most of all your own.

5.Remember the Great Depression. It sucked, but people survived. It's amazing how many non-essentials we take for granted. Rent a movie about the 1930s, sit back, and laugh about how much better our depression is going to be.

6.Learn a new skill. In hard times, it pays to be very, very employable. And you may even be lucky enough to have two jobs. Oh, wait. That's our problem now.

7.Start saving now. Then when the bottom falls out, at least you'll have something to live on for three-and-a-half weeks.

8.Start spending now. It's folks like you, saving all your money instead of spending it, that are killing the economy.

9. Stop listening to people telling you to save or to spend. In fact, stop listening to news about the markets. It's just too depressing.

10.Ignore top ten lists. They are way too gimmicky and seldom give any truly useful information (except for this one, of course!)
