The debt is in the form of bonds and notes sold to the Fed under fraudulent terms (kiting checks and bad bookkeeping). The Fed can go bankrupt and the Treasury would owe nothing. National debt $0.
The Fed kited a check to purchase those notes and bonds, so they are legally worth $0 due to lack of consideration.
If I were Bernanke, I would sell the $1.5 trillion face value at 140, clear $2 trillion. Do some wire transfers and do the world a favor.
The Fed sold the rest to the public in open market operations.

They know you'll exit at some point and the market maker doesn't want...
Have you tried manual stops?
Or it would be fairly simple to use IB's API to send the stop order from your computer.
I am pretty sure brokers sell stop orders.
Lesbo works better. Girls can have sex longer.
Also solo works because the viewers can interact and try to pick them up.
It's ubiquitous.
To repeat a couple of Trivial Pursuit (anti-Boomer Edition) questions:

I didn't say life originated from diamonds, I said that's how diamonds are formed.
Diamonds are what happens to carbon after heated and pressurized for 45 million years. Fire and brimstone?
