No, I based my joke on Douglas Adams. You apparently base your jokes on Alan W. Livingston’s children’s TV character.

So you’ve shorted oil? What options or futures contracts did you buy? How many? What time horizon? I am sure we would all love to follow your lucrative investment strategy, or did Mr. Livingston give you guidance on this as well?

As for a wager, are you suggesting that you will win if a commercial LENR pays its investors double their original investment within 5 years? I would accept those terms, and friendly long term wagers are always even odds so both parties have the same amount reserved.

***No, you based your REASONING on a fictional chracter. And then you move even further outlandish by claiming that I base jokes on some TV character I’ve never heard of. Basically, you’re showing yourself to be a loon.

So you’ve shorted oil?
***Not yet.
What options or futures contracts did you buy? How many? What time horizon?
***As I said, I have not done it yet. But the investment strategy would have turned out to be wise if LENR hits big, right? Or are you utterly incapable of processing conditional reasoning... my bet is you are incapable of addressing the conditional.

I am sure we would all love to follow your lucrative investment strategy, or did Mr. Livingston give you guidance on this as well?
***Who is Mr. Livingston? Why would I want anyone to follow my lucrative investment strategy if it dilutes my position? It’s like the guy who came out with the “dogs of the dow” approach. As soon as it was published, it became a cliche and wouldn’t work any more.

As for a wager, are you suggesting that you will win if a commercial LENR pays its investors double their original investment within 5 years?
***Why don’t you just read what I wrote instead of asking what I am suggesting? Do you have some sort of reading comprehension problem?

I would accept those terms, and friendly long term wagers are always even odds so both parties have the same amount reserved.
***Then there’s no reason to proceed with your bet. I won better than 3.5-to-1 odds on Intrade with less than a 1 year period, so why would I go for your odds over 5 years?

***Looks like my bet was correct.
