xyz Trading is a secret group of bald monks who sit around daily
studying ancient runes called "candlesticks," through which their god
speaks to them. He tells them on which side of the S&P to place their 
pebbles. Unfortunately, despite years of intense study, the bald
monks still misinterprete these ancient runes and  what side their
god is favoring, which leads to loss of their pebbles on many
occassions.
