Thank you for that, GM.

I shorted the S&P at the close yesterday and made a grand at the open today.

If this trade lasts until the Mayan calendar runs out I'll be in fat city.

That doesn't surprise me. I started playing WOW again because its cheaper than going out, and its still too cold to do anything outside.

I'm sure I'm not the only one. 14.99 a month is pretty cheap entertainment

Yeah, but the 10% gets set each quarter. So its got to fall almost 900 points in a day to trigger something I think.
