Such an erudite source! Imagine a sophomore, a junior, and an
African-American Haberdasher . With such incisive analysis, everyone should
get on board!
"Harvey Multani is a modern-day Conquistador. When he isn't trading options,
he is studying Economics and Operations Engineering as a third-year student
at Allegheny College. You can reach him at harvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Benjamin Tagoe is an African-American Haberdasher with a flare for
mortgage-based derivative instruments. His hobbies include real estate,
arbitrage, and studying Public Policy and Finance as a second-year student
at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School. You can reach him at
ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Aniq Rahman is half man, half engineer. His time is split between numerous
start-up ventures and studying Economics and BioEngineering as a second-year
student at Cornell University."
Their last names are suspicious, though.

Another intelligent source: "The Tide Online is pupblished(sic) by Rivers
State Newspaper Corporation, 4 Ikwerre Road, Port Harcourt, Nigeria."
Well, once they get their hands on some of those hand-crankers, they might
be able to improve themselves. I can wait.
