Hi Paddington. I've been following you and your dedicated merry band of men from time to time! Testament to your relaxed and conversational insights.

Since it is a quiet day on the forum, I thought I would waste some space and try to find my old 'Jane Russell' post of you on the XJO forum in 2011. Alas, the artwork has disappeared and I no longer have it on my computer.

For those that don't know the context, I used to get the XJO forum cranked up for the day, as PB does with this forum. My 'cranker' was far less intelligent than Paddington's. At the time, I surmised that Paddington is in fact, Jane Russel. PB’s response has been.. ‘no comment’.

Without further ado, and for old time's sake, here is the ‘XJO cranker of the day’ 23^rd of June 2011, which was dedicated to Paddington Bear.

MORNING TRENDSETTERS (and trendsetteresses)

'One really encouraging development is the fact that whereasthe web was being absolutely drenched by the bears, they have gone really quiet over the past couple of days. Mind you they will probably all be back on the first correction' PADDINGTON BEAR - June 22nd

Ah - it's nice having some feminine energy on the forum. Particularly when the realities of the jungle conspire to eat you. A gentle dab of the brow renews one before being re-eaten.

A balanced Yin and Yang also make for a happy XJO forum...theonly moderated posts are self mods these days. Except for Bollinger beinguncouth the other day, oh and Haspete's can't help a bit of swearing either.

I wonder if women prefer certain types of shares. WouldPaddington be more inclined to invest in ORL or CCC? Does the fact that, Imyself, am partial to a bit of ORL, mean that I have some healthy Yin mixedwith my, leave the toilet seat up, yang?

As Paddington has pointed out to me, women are bettertraders. Why? Because they follow the rules....that men have made....withoutmuch question.

My daughter works with her dad. She often says...(sigh) 'Idon't need to know why it works - just tell me what buttons to push'!

So while we men are under the desk trying to figure out whyit won't work, the women just press buttons and make some money.

Paddington has never been moderated - by the looks. She'salso an absolute day trader expert - by the looks again. I bet she's not$39,670.23c down in the last two months either. (like moi)

A few more quotes from other Crankers...'Because I love sentimentreadings so much, looks like I won't get a correction until more of you blokesgive up and dive back in. Come on - Stocky is leading the way!!!' PaddingtonBear Feb 2012.

‘I remember an old saying from when I firststarted drawing charts - the trend is your friend till the bend at the end.Have we seen the bend yet? I'll let the market decide.' PaddingtonBear Nov 2011.

And lastly, fromPaddington Bear’s ‘Take my breath away Friday’…

'I still plot charts by hand andthe way markets come back to lines etc. often just takes my breath away. Neverget bored with the beauty of it all. Paddington Bear Sep 2012.

All the very best to you and your husband PB.
