      What I have learned about researching the stock market is that Icannot remember all of the numbers and names that I have read, seen, andheard. However, a funny thing goes on upstairs. Although I cannot activelyrecall these facts and figures, they are there and are regurgitated as gutinstinct. I could never quantify all of the variables that went into thedecision to trade the way that I did on August 15,1997. What alerted me tothe opportunity was part experience, part research, and part intuition.What I do know is that my intuition is not luck. My intuition is the resultof nearly a decade of diligent research and time-consuming study of thefinancial markets.
