Since I was going to edit my definition of "plunger" I decided to see if I could get a definition of it from Livermore's days. I found one from Webster in 1913: http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/plunger Among a number of other definitions, "plunger" is defined as "reckless speculator". That seems the most appropriate definition for our purposes so I've used it in the blog. Thanks again for commenting – I appreciate it greatly. Thanks Dusan,
