    Here here. Good for you Lye. Your skin is thicker from recent battles no doubt A lesser man would let karels nagging reminders about your work in progress get to them and outburst with expletives or sumfin hehe.
    Well, it seems you're finding the competition between your fund and POTW (and your winning) the fun part. And hey, if you need the POTW competition to inspire you to put more attention into your own ports, fine.....but maybe you'd get more out of it if you picked a system that was genuinely a refined and successful product/system and try to match that.....oh, but it's not so fun to compare oneself to a winning system is it??? ....there's just no satisfaction....

    Hey, I'm pretty easy going and like a good competition, but little stabs and patting yourself on the back seems a bit juvenile to me, and really not in the spirit of the board (i.e. we all liking to root for each other). Forgive me if I'm way off base here, and perhaps I'm just grumpy, but it's getting on my nerves karel. I think Lye's doin' a great job scorekeeping and trying to motivate everyone to play a game that can be fun just by participating. Lye has high expectations and can see the potential of the H factor and putting it into some 'system', and that's creativity and inspirational, even if it isn't worthy in your eyes. I think any comments you make should bear all that in mind instead of selfishly getting glory out of what I'd equate to a bully pickin' on someone who ain't growd up yet
    God this is so much different when you're not involved in it. Ya know it's usually me. I enjoy watching much more. Lye really is doing a great job for someone who ain't growed up yet but still makes a great apple brandy.

      spike, I think there are two things here: me pulling Lye's leg for his enthousiasm for a good day for the POTW (and a better day for the markets), and my genuine disappointment that the POTW, even without the H factor, doesn't do better. Perhaps that is also behind my hints against "Hail Mary" picks: I don't think they do the POTW much good. They might even spoil Lye's H factor, more is the trouble. I hope Lye knows that he has all my respect for keeping the POTW bubbling, and in case he doesn't <deep bow>I hope he does now</deep bow>.

      Regards,

      Karel

            I would have to agree. New Years eve I had a few of my buddies and their wives over to our house. These guys are definitely drinkers, not quite abusers, and can hold their liquor. Four of us had 3 rounds apiece and when I suggested a 4th there were no takers. Very potent, smooth as silk, and no afterburn. We had a fire going in the chimeria on the deck and no one needed a coat to sit outside.

                I just have to complain myself...........

                What happen to rule number 5???????????

                I think since I am so new to the game and new to the trading business itself that number 5 of the old rules should be reinstated!

                If I admitted that it was me diving off the Morgan, will that give any weight to rule number 5??????

                        I think you had more than just a "FEW" cocktails...I got all excited when I read your post because I thought I learned a new word...However, Dictionary.com doesn't list "chimeria"...So I'm thinking maybe you meant "chimera"...Well, everybody knows that "chimera" means:

                        A fanciful mental illusion or fabrication.

                        At least that's one of the definitions they list.

                        I can see you now..."Hey Lye...Pass me another invisible log for the chimeria"
