["Woody" <solarmax@optusnet.com.au>]

Pierpont is a reporter, if he was a knowledgable man in the matters of
finances he would not need to earn a living as a reporter.
Reporters, Brokers and Gamblers you are all using the 'Rolling Stones' music
as a benchmark for the Mathematical perfection of 'Beethovens 5th '

If you use Daffy Duck to research the existance of Donald Duck then
obviously Daffy will prove the existance of Donald as would Donald prove the
existance of Daffy. But does that prove the existance of either?

Boop oop Woody

> 'Perhaps the last word should go to that fine but half-forgotten English
author G.K. Chesterton, who believed that life is a trap for logicians,
because it is almost reasonable but not quite. He wrote: ``It looks just a
little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious,
but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.''.'

> He advises successful investors to ignore mathematical theories and read
English literature.

succinctly in literature as well.
