    If you knew when the next major down move will be

    More chance of being flagged on individual issues where an influential MM would make a stink to try and break the trades. On OTM Index Puts unlikely the OP would have the size to be noticed. Guys who loaded up on $100K+ FOTM index puts before the '87 crash didn't get investigated.

    This is just a crying shame

    Not sure how he would be able to do that unless we go to a universal medicare system (like in the UK they can force docs to work public and private unless they opt out of public altogether, which in the US as long as there are insured patients many docs are already doing). One thing I do...

    Obama wants the ability to shut down the internet at will

    It was bad enough when we had all the ditto heads on the right who were incapable of critical thinking, now we have them on the left too. To the OP, yes you are paranoid but maybe with a grain of cause. The state sovereignty issue may actually be the only way to reign in a federal...
