54. I was once recruited by a contracting broker who had been a military psychologist
Edited on Fri May-15-09 10:58 AM by mule_train
and i did not trust the guy, period

he was a master of 'level jumping' and presumptiveness, and i cut him off at every turn, even when the market was thin

i knew every odd gesture was deliberate, and that his background was tricking people into doing things they didnt want to do, and may or may not have been in their best interests
