I didn’t mean to illicit an in depth response any more than I think he meant that something he had come across was all “we” needed to know. I added the qualifier of my lack of knowledge to convey that I didn’t consider my question as something insightful, and possibly even dumb to those who actually do know something about the subject.

Saying the internet is a poor source of understanding is like saying a gun is a poor source of food. Sure, at face value your statement is true. And without some common sense and caution, that gun could even be dangerous. But could you perhaps use a gun along with some training and careful practice to procure food? If you consider "the internet" useful for only looking up stray facts and a "very poor source to derive knowledge and understanding from", I guess I'm left to wonder what sources you would prefer instead?
Also, stay away hotel bars. Far too many ill informed pilot types hanging around.

[QUOTE=FL370esq;2988056]True...but solely as a numerical gain, not as a percentage gain. It's a 26,000 point market. Today's gain (5.08%) is still less than half of two gains achieved in October 2008 in a 9,000 point market (11.08% and 10.88%) which means we would need a 2,800 point gain to be on par with those two jumps. It's all relative.[/he
