I wish to thank all those who responded to the DAX (Deutcher
Aktienindex-  The German Stock Index) inquiry.  In particular, Steve
LaBash and Tom Diamond, for suggesting "The Handbook of Financial
Market Indexes" and Jo Ann Aufdenkamp, for sending me the DAX on Fax.
I appreciate all your help.  Jo Ann's list of the 30 companies came
from the Frankfurter Wertpapierborse.

DAX is the listing of 30 German blue-chip stocks in the Frankfurt Stock

    =================================================================

    I have been asked to find the following two pieces of information
    and have not been able to find ANY resource that contains the
    answers.  I have even tried an information broker (Find/SVP).  Can
    anyone give me some help?  The questions are:

    1.  What was the percent of international finance (lending and
    investment) handled by British banks 30 years ago compared to the
    rest of the world?  What is the percent today?

    2.  What was the value of the British banks market share in this
    area 30 years ago?  What is it today?  (In constant dollars or
    pounds.)

    Any help or pointer would be appreciated.

Agreed.  Happiness kin kill ya, if there ain't nothing to be happy
about.
This is one of the point 'pon which Wilson seems to me to abandon his
usual skeptical optimism and descend into hippy-dippy bullshit- another
is the idea that, if only we were smarter and lived for a long time on
other planets, all our problems would be over.  Note, please, that I'm
not disputing the value of any of the three elements- just Wilson's
and Leary's seeming confidence that they can cure all the world's ills.

Been there, did that, when I was a researcher with IBM (IBM JoRaD, vol. 32,
no. 2, p. 217 -- note of course that 3+2=5, (2+1+7)/2=5, the article has
6 authors but the youngest died of cancer before it was published so
bringing the number of then-living authors back to 5, it is the 5th article
in the issue, and its received date was March *23*; in its biblio, the
first reference to another paper of mine is number 23; and so on -- mere
coincidences all, of course).
However, they were HIDDEN Markov models, while they're now overt ones, 
which makes a lot of difference of course.

That's right- you can't.  However, we can; in fact, we revel in doing
exactly that.  This is why your church will never be anything but a
refuge for spineless namby-pambies who are afraid to really dig into the
muck and mire, man, really get their fucking *souls* dirty.  You can't
walk a mile in another man's moccasins until you've condemned him to
eternal torment, my friend.  Violence isn't enough- sure, it's nice, and
you can make really pretty patterns with the blood, but what's the
use of slowly torturing your enemies to death if they just get to sit on
clouds all day afterwards, and eat manna and talk to Joab and shit?

Subject:      Highly Signifigant Indeed.

Apoligies for the last message taht got garbaled beecause I was too lazy
to type on a screen editor.

"Highly Signifigant Indeed".  Was that refering to me?  Let me clarify
the point I was trying to make.

One might look at a string of circumstances and coincidence and say that
because it happened in a certain pattern (ie fives) it is signifigant.  Not
to say that all such circumstances are relevent, but it brings a certain
relation of ideas to the important ones.

The case I used to illustrate is the fact that the file FNORD-L.MAIL that
I recieved from LISTSERV telling me that my subscription to FNORD-L had been
accepted had an id number of 555 in my mailbox.  555 being the
fifth multiple of 111 (another important number to those who know).

Coincidence (co- incidence)?

But the Z-score part upsets me.  Having taken a small amount of statistics (
the "science" of trying to account for every random factor and becoming
upset when they don't fall nicely under the beautiful curve that one draws) I
have a vauge rememberence of what the Z-score means.  Let me just say that
this is coming from the same community of people that tell us that the New
Kids are the hottest thing since The Beatles, and that nine out of ten
americans think that Millions of people have switched to Brand Z because it
has a new minty taste.

Let me introduce you to a new concept.  Say it with me now NNN-TRO-PEEE.
Can you say that?  I knew you could!

"Teste" III for Uniball is an incongruous thought: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. etc. If you
will forgive me for posting trivial, wasteful junk on your screen, I will post
this one last reassuring keyflicker. An astute individual must smell a waste
behind "testing" anysay, and delete, since as a metaphor it's rather silly
when you've only been there to listen to the band.

	I dreamed the other night that I took the stage with one another to
open for a band before a huge audience. I had no idea this was coming, of
 course,
and had no plans. Take a microphone, the other guy said, when we had got on
stage. At least there was that. I wandered around (there was a long cord), now
and then trying to say boring things intensely, but knowing it was bogus, and
then I came to some portraits on the wall, and I began to speak for the first
time with conviction. Our subject, I said, was The Body of The Future, and I

A bit confused, what with all the "[A"'s and repetitions, but substantially
inspired! 555 is indeed the product of three important prime factors (omne
trinum est perfectum...), 3 itself, 5 of which I need not remind the audience,
and 37, the temperature of the human rectum in degrees centigrade, the page in
volume V (HA!) of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (Micropaedia) which mentions
Highland Park, where Henry Ford started the assembly-line method of
production which was to revolutionize manufacturing in our century, as well as
my age in years (well, next month anyway -- close enough for occultist work!).
And on page 37 of volume 5 (HA!) of the Macropaedia, that same work talks
about violation of conservation laws... Highly Significant Indeed.
