Do you participate in Druid celebrations today while you calculate the spreads on index futures options arbitrage?
 
Are you asking Vic? I don't trade options... yet. I'm trying to learn.

Speaking of..., hey Vic did you know this guy by any chance? University of Michigan, BA Philosophy, 1995. I know you were a phil major and graduated somewhere thereabouts.
 
No, I wasn't asking Vic, although I did think Vic would be the most likely to get a chuckle out of this...

But no, it was just a dryly humorous - or intended to be - little yoke with with some cultural irony and an non-sexual double entendre on the word "wizard" for anybody on this board who might be mildly amused...

I guess, for me, it was so dry that I didn't get the intent to be humorous; I could see an intent to be clever, but after reading the headline and post, the word "humorous" didn't enter my mind. Maybe "amusing" or more accurately "mildly amusing"... but humorous? no.

That's OK.

If I had thought about it, I probably would have considered that the juxtiposition of terminology and cultural symbolism referred to would have probably been just a little bit over your head.

and that shouldn't surprise you - or anyone else. Despite my pretensions to intellectual banter, I'm actually quite low brow.
