    Is there a book that explains it all?

    Yes!!!! The margin is there to protect the broker. If you start loosing money and the total is less than the margin required your broker will sell the contracts to protect themselves. But... If they fail to sell them or if there is a flash crash and you go under your 10K, let say you...

    err im confused

    Very well said. It is nice to make fun of the FED but so far they have done a good job. Also quite transparent if one lissens carefully. I am mad because the FED said go long but I went short. The end of the day it is my fault.

    6 % investment with the lowest BETA

    Mexico sold $1 billion in 2110 bonds, which carry a coupon of 5.75%, at a yield of 6.1%. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20101006-700078.html P.S. For the rest of your life you can receive 5.75% no matter what. ( as long as Mexico stands. Viva la Mexico!!!!)

    I watch the last one from 10.5. He did very well. It was no clear how he distributed 10,000 shares. I was looking the the bid ask volume but did not see a clear sign how he did it. Was it for real? Never the less cool execution on his part.

    Anybody else short US 30 Bond

    Note to myself: When the FED proclaims that they will take more money from the mases and buy some more treasures, line up and get some of your neighbor's money and buy some sweet gold or real estate. Sh&*%&t I hate this.
