Prime time television in the US has cleared the thread of posters...Good enough for me to grab a win with no meaning or purpose.

Methinks not.

So the markets go down when the Germans ban the naked short. Must be the hedge funds trying to make a profit.

For those that don't know a naked short is the sale of shares of a stock you don't own and your broker doesn't either in a bet that the price will go down and you can buy them back for less. Naked shorts have been banned for a long time on US markets, but only recently has there been enforcement.

A covered short, is still the sale on the bet that you can buy it back for less later, but you (or your broker) have to actually arrange to borrow shares to sell.

But keep on trucking, I say. That is until we can all see ES99's hair. Do you think it might be a Mullet?

I say she's bald...It has to be bad for it to be hidden for weeks and weeks...We will not see her head again until her comb-over grows back.

Its a Walmart mullet.

I've parted my hair on the other side and it has grown out a little so I feel I can now go out without a hat sometimes.

Right now I have an Alice band in to hide the worst of it.

Whow!

ES got a haircut Canadian Lumberjack style in a supermarket. Nice one ES, but you need to purchase a Lumberjack shirt to go with it.

My link to the 1981 Eurovision song contest winner Bucks Fizz "making your mind up" was put in as I thought the 2 boys wore mullets, but I think this was optimistic.
