Three implosions? Regardless of whether it comes about, my hat's off to Skillionaire for making such a bold statement Beer



Let's see if you're right. Personally, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised, but you could tell that from my new icon Smiley
One day, in the midst of another one of his increasingly frequent homicidal fantasies, Croke noticed a new member had invaded his favorite forum. It was an obnoxious coed (or so he thought) who went by the nickname "Lilly". At first, all Croke could think about was strangling the life out of this giddy new member. Her insistent flirting with everyone was disgusting to Croke and he began a merciless vendetta against her.



He was sure that his prominent status would cause the other "regulars" to outcast the newcomer as he wished. On the contrary, everyone dug Lilly and even Croke's most vehement beratings fell on def ears. This infuriated Croke even more.

New thread title "Getting out of CDOs"
Okay, if I can turn a sphere inside out with smooth isotopy, how come I can't turn the manifold that is myself inside out to see why my stomach hurts?

Bachelier, I don't know about you, but I nominate AndyM's comment to the NP hall of fame:

Wait, a second, so now that things are pricing more apropriately (or at least wider) without a huge change in expected performance, now is the time to get out?  Buy high sell low indeed.
