Tommasso, AG has been very responsive to the needs of Wall St I would not count on him changing this stance - unless the dollar comes under pressure. Mike

>>I am guessing that the Fed might be thinking about raising margin requirements, and if so, that such a raise will come as a complete surprise to most stockholders. Unlike their careful telegraphing of interest rate moves (lately), I think that a margin rate increase would be abrupt and shocking.<< no way. quit assigning reason to bubbleboy. he isn't reasonable. his image is tied to the bubble. he will lower rates 3/4 points in quick fashion. he'll even surprise lower the day b4 options expiration (why not 2 days later?). he'll never surprise the market to the down side. NEVER. he is a STAR! GREATEST fed chairman EVER! he CONTROLS markets. he is a BIG SWINGING D*. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE times 2! will he lose it? NO WAY!
