Sigh, every single set, three weeks to go, does not require Nostradamus to see this one coming. I just wish I could exercise a stock option on all of the damn bushels I bought at $55 . . .

We've discussed this in the past on the dev forum. It wasn't particularly productive.

It may happen eventually, but don't hold your breath.

So after you failed to predict the timing of the 2nd food crash this set, and your failed attempt to play oil last set, which led LaF to give you an informal ban from playing with the oil market ever again, you wish to have yet another way in which you can lose money on the market?

Why ban him from thinking when he has already banned himself?

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

He hasnt banned himself, you should see his BS in irc everyday... It is painful for anyone who isn't used to it. LaF would have to impose such a policy.

It doesn't take thinking to type BS in an IRC channel.

Any monkey can figure out how to push a button to turn a computer on. This same monkey could very easily (over a time period) slap the keyboard until the right password is entered to login to the OS. The monkey could then use the mouse as a sex aid and accidentally open up mIRC or Icechat or whatever IRC program happens to have a shortcut to the desktop. Most IRC programs let you set auto-commands, so once mIRC is running, the channel will automatically open up, allowing the monkey to then use his feces to carefully type the collective works of Shakespeare into the chat channel.

you guys have it all wrong. I should create the ability to sell/buy baskets of goods! Or baskets of baskets of goods!

so then you can bundle together your worthless oil and war techs with some bushels, then bundles those together with other similar packages to create a complex derivative that no one can effectively price because the end assets are so obscured.

and confirmed, Rockman has been increasingly grumpy lately. :(

Pang just invented the phone company. I'd advise you to hurry and get a patent, but Apple would just sue you for it.
