After thinking about all these people wrong-footed by this ever-rising market I sent my own version of a nursery rhyme to a guy I know, asking him if he thought maybe I missed my calling. (After reciting this around the house my better half put me on restriction. She said no more nursery rhymes, no more limmericks, nothing.) He has a trading humor website, and he asked to post it. It's here, the August 22 post:

If you don't like vulger language you'd better skip this one.

I don't know, maybe she's right, maybe I'm not okay in the head :-)
