At the higher levels, tournament bridge is fiercely competitive and not all that social. Many times, pairs will sit down and simply announce that they are playing weak no-trumps or a forcing club system, etc. Otherwise they simply will say hi or if they know me, "Hi, Alan." Then it's down to bidding and playing the hands and serious concentration. If you are looking for social events, you don't enter bridge tournaments.

Interestingly enough, when I first started playing bridge in 1969, I didn't know how seriously folks took the tournaments. I knew that girls liked bridge and I actually started playing in hopes of meeting my future spouse. I quickly found out that many of the women playing in tournaments seem to have more testosterone than a lot of the men. You don't exactly want to bring these girls home to meet mama. I never did meet anything resembling a suitable spouse but I did fall head over heels in love with the game itself and I went on to become one of the better tournament bridge players in the country.

My name can be found in the biographical section of the 1983 Encyclopedia of Bridge along will all of the all-time greats.

What a joike! Your very comment tells me that you do NOT have at least average intelligence.

Two weeks ago in light of my trip to Switerland, I finally got my iPhone set up to receive voice messages (no early adopter am I). I was told by the Verizon customer service rep that in order to hear the messages, I had to start out by holding down the number 1 key for a few seconds.

Do you think that most folks would somehow just instinctively know that? Why would anyone just think that you had to hold down the #1 key if you wanted to hear messages?

OF COURSE this stuff has to be taught to you if tyou don't want to spend endless hours randomly trying out various things.

Computer programming was a required course for Computer Science majors at UCLA and was offered as an elective for non-computer Business Administration majors. I elected to take the course and I received an A grade. I remember learning about computer languages of the time such as FORTRAN and COBOL.

Back in the mid-1960's, few would have thought that there would be PC's within a dozen years. At the time, computers meant IBM mainframes and accountants had little to do with computers other than to submit entries for inputters to enter.

If you think that is so, why is it that I almost never see a post from you about Pfizer or other stocks. To judge from the messages that I read, this is a put-down board. I'm irtually the only one here who tells folks how to truly earn great returns.

Anyone with the ability to read? Just what is it that I should be reading to let me know how to post the pictures? Virtually none of my friends are into tech and now with my older brother gone, I've lost the one person in the family who knew about these things.

Do keep in mind that I'm a senior citizen and was hardly brought up with tech.

Do you think for one moment that I would invite my worst enemy to be a part of my investing group if I didn't reaally and truly have the goods? Obviously this board would never stop hearing about it if the results were one iota less than what I say they are. Almost always when you hear of situations like this one, it's a pack of lies but not this time. This particular "too good to be true" discovery really IS true and you are invited to be a part of it. See for yourself in your own private account if I am lying or not. But prepared to be amazed.

I go on FANTASTIC trips - not "fantasy" trips. I did have to cancel a Mediterranean cruise last September when my best friend encountered serious health problems and was hospitalized for ten weeks. He's feeling a lot better now and has lost a lot of weight and consequently we have booked a replacement cruise. It will begin on Jan. 30- and extend 17 nights covering Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong.

I'll be taking photos from my i-Phone of the trip to Switzerland and if I ever learn how to do it, I'll try posting some of the better ones to this board. You'll then have proof positive that this is no "fantasy" trip,.

I know that you just hate it, johnboy, but I have truly made a world-class discovery that is a game-changer and a life-changer. Anytime that you want in, let me know and it can be arranged for a mere 1% up-front fee. Members of my group usually make that up by means of the 21% commission discount that they get off of Ameritrade's already-low commissions.

It really should have been the word December next to the number 2000 with the day being 18. But since I walked away from that accident without a scratch, i had been wondering for many years about the further accomplishments that I was obviously destined to have. And now I think I know what the Man Upstairs had in mind. I was Chosen to make the incredible investment discovery that I did and to tell the nation about it.

I was a little hasty in saying that I'm about the only one in the land selling large amounts of naked puts. In actual fact, there is another distinct category of investors that routinelyh does this - and they are the OPTIONS MARKET MAKERS.

These people are not only allowed to make markets in the options but they are very much allowed to trade on their own behalf. And boy do they ever do it. While for every option bought there is an option sold, it sure doesn't follow that for every publicly-traded option bought there has to be a [ib;oc p[topm seller. Because there are so few investors selling deep-out-of-the-money puts, it is the OPTIONS MARKET MAKERS that wind up selling the overwhelming majority of these deep-out-of-the-moneys.

Few investors know much about margin requirements and how to calculate them. That even goes for a lot of brokers.

Of course, the best minds on Wall Street - the ones running the big funds - are completely out of this sort of investment as the options market is way too small to accommodate the funds.

Amazing as it may seem, I'm almost the only one in the land to sell large amounts of deep-out-of-the-money naked puts. And that is pretty awesome.

Normally I wouldn't be telling a soul about this other than perhaps potential clients because if too many people know about it, prices will be adversely affected. However, I survived an auto accident a dozen years ago that I had no business walking away from and I feel that there had to have been a reason for that. I feel compelled to give something back and that is the reason why I continue to shout about this from the rooftops.

Those on this board should be earning the kind of other-worldly returns that I am and those not earning such returns can't say that they didn't know of the opportunity. As the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."
