    What Should Sen. Larry Craig Have Done?

    10 cents a day

    Yes, it looks easy mate, scalping away for a 10c move. But the problem is what do you do when it goes 30c against you in a blink of an eye, and then another 20 and another 20 and before you know it is a whole $1 against you. Let me guess, you decide to become an "investor" in the stock...

    Why Companies Go Public?
