    Steel Futures in the future?

    delivery would be very expensive...You(company) really only care about losing a value position, so that is why they trade value positions instead.

    Fractional Reserve Banking as Economic Parasitism

    it flies as long as people buy our treasuries...but, the system is what it is, so you have to know the rules and play by those rules in order to get anywhere in the long run. If you are generating huge returns year-in and year-out, there is nothing to be concerned about. Our future...

    I like Cramer...

    short him, it's a new decade and a different trading atmosphere....his post 2000 record has already been confirmed numerous times as being TERRIBLE. "past performance is no guarantee of future performance"

    Hows does a QQQQ maintence work when going short ?

    no...you want a short position to shrink...a long position to grow. you have to invert your thought process on a short. you are selling high first so you can buy low second. in a short situation, the fed only cares if you are going to have to pay MORE for the stock than you sold it for!

    cubes act just like any other issue out there...50% initial margin, 25% minimum...no money needs to be added until you hit 25%, but you will have some restrictions on your account if you fall below 50%

    I will do some digging later, but I suspect that a deal with RIMM should mean some real $$ for them...only 25mm shares outstanding too....RIMM was prepared to spend 450mm a week ago with NTP to settle...who knows what this deal is worth to FORG.
