    Question about not getting up from desk

    After months of fighting with them, Medicare has finally agreed to pick up the cost of a larger (2.4 quart) colostomy bag....and I must say this has provided me with much more trading longevity throughout the day.

    That is true but, my point is that PREM or $SPX or SPiN are not good enough if you are trying to "lean" on the ARBS. PREM is calculated by taking the difference between the $SPX (from the CBOE) and the Futures from the Merc. Here's the problem, $SPX is calculated by the CBOE every 15...
