I know most of the talk in washington is about unfreezing the lending markets so consumers can take on new debt,buy stuff and the economy will fix itself.

I think the time to get the CDS market standardized jus t like the equity options market is now. Have a transparent trading system and clearinghouse like the options market where anyone can buy or sell these swaps and they have to secure them against collateral just like when selling cash...

As a shareholder of 20,000 GE shares (If they are still in business) I am thinking maybe a Shareholder Proposal to boot Cramer from CNBC might be a good idea. What do you think.

I just think it is pointless to argue the fact. He made a trade, he posted it, end of story. Last I heard this is a board where people discuss trading???
Pointless and petty to call someone a liar when they post something.
I think Options Guide to rookies myself is probably the one I would recommend. I looked through one and the writing was good + easy to follow and not tiring or droneish etc.., very understandable for novices.
Some beginner books are too dry and difficult to follow or at times forget that the...
Why? I mean why would people post a lie about a trade. What does the person gain?
And why assume. It would be a better place if people do not assume. It is not like what he did is something no one ever does.
1 million is not that much really for a trading account.
I have seen on the...

Multiply by number of shares.
1 contract = 100 x .63 cents = 63 dollars.
