    First foray in trading ES

    First foray in trading ES

    TRADE ALERT - Buy QQQQ Oct 2008 38.00 calls

    How about this idea?

    Changing the immigration law for the next year. Open this idea up the world. You can become a US citizen if you: 1. Have no criminal record 2. Have to buy a house in the US for a minimum of $200,000, no resell within 2 years. US citizenship after 2 years. I am Canadian and I would do it.
