T-Rex: Attention world! I have an announcement to make! Today marks my retirement...
T-Rex: ...from FINANCIAL FUTURES TRADING!!
Dromiceiomimus: I didn't know you did any financial trading.
T-Rex: I don't! Not anymore!
Dromiceiomimus: Okay, I didn't know you'd STARTED doing financial trading.
T-Rex: Oh, I haven't! And I've decided I never will. Hence my big retirement!
Utahraptor: So we're to celebrate you - never doing a thing?
T-Rex: Exactly!
T-Rex: Think of it as a celebration of me deliberately looking at my future, taking out a big red pen, and crossing out the parts I don't like. I'm choosing the course of my life!
Utahraptor: Or, in a much sadder reading, you're finally giving up hope on a life and career you now know will never happen.
Off panel: I guess it all depends on your opinion about forward contracts in commodity markets! Has widespread hedging of this class of financial instruments TRULY been a net good for society?
T-Rex: Hello!
T-Rex: I would ALSO like to announce my retirement from this conversation
