similar issue here... i scale up with my account size, but i already got to a point where i really get worse prices cause of the size... and that's in places where you don't really expect it... i mean even a DRYS or a GM can give you quite a bit of slippage on a 10k order at certain price...

Mini Cooper S (BMW quality, british style). or even Mini John Cooper Works

smart money leaves the us... as it becomes more and more obvious washington wants to inflate itself out of their problems/debts...

and the US-$ devaluates parabolic as well right now... probably biggest 2day move vs. yen, euro, swiss franc ever... if i were you i would protest at fed ny or somewhere, the big theft of wealth has started...

Switzerland

LVS down another 20%, now 3.10$... there will probably be a short squeeze before it hits 2.50$ (remember the last one... ;) ). maybe i take some longs
