something else I meant to post at the time but never did... a few months ago I was having a dinner conversation with a guy I just met. He asked what I did for living and he was very interested in my opinions because he had just started to consider trying to play the market. What really struck me was this guy was VERY fresh into the stock market game, but somewhere he had read about the PPT, and he had already formed an opinion that the PPT was the only thing driving the rally... Amazing, this PPT conspiracy theory has filtered down to the rank amateurs
