He would have made more sense if he had said "First".
You actually only need to see prices in 2d space for there to be a north/south. If your going to make a smartass remark, at least make sense.

@greg, north/south actually only requires 1d space.
North/south - 1d.
North/south, east/west - 2d
North/south, east/west, up/down -3d.
