    A hot new theory is being passed around for why the market crashed last month

    Thank you for finding this great read! We never get enough of these strange packages of risk, we need to know as much as we can so we can stay ahead of the public that seems not to care what is happening to their stocks and money.

    Correction, average cost was $1828+commissions, sell price minus cost equals a gross $1133. I can look commissions up if for a more precise figure. Using small amounts of capital during Wild Market Swings allows you to step in these options.
