Thanks Flats, Looking at a Dec Nasdaq chart, my guess is that it will outdo even Nov in terms of increase of margin debt. Also very interesting is the bit on 0 years. I would have thought 7's or 9's would have a worse record. Thanks again, great info. Mark

cross-currents.net Microsoft has become the world's most heavily traded entity and is now almost the same size as the ENTIRE U.S. Treasury bond market. Microsoft's market capitalization recently topped $617 billion. The total amount of Treasury Bonds outstanding (all bonds issued with an original maturity of greater than 10 years) was just under $644 billion as of November 30th. Since no Treasury Bonds were issued in December, this number can only go down if some of these bonds matured. By the way, MSFT now routinely trades each day as much as 15% of daily GDP all by itself. Now isn't that a scary statistic?? For more on MSFT's potential impact on the stock market, see: billparish.com Regards, Ron
