since you place your broker in the position of banker
them sumbitches can set maintenance at 30%
or deem concentrated positions to be even more subject to restricted margarine

this autumn I used a nifty trick when hit by a margin call twice
I sold three times what they needed, with cash bought ATM calls
all those calls resulted in 200% profits in three weeks time

consider it with Feb150
sounds like you got the stones

Comet Debris, Not Excrement, Rains on Spain

MADRID (Reuters) - At least ten melon-sized ice balls that have slammed into Spain in the last
week are probably debris from comets, not human excrement as first suspected, a Spanish
scientist said Monday.

Enrique Martinez, head of a team at the Higher Council of Scientific Investigation studying the
phenomenon, said it was first thought that the ice balls were human excrement ejected from
high-flying aircraft.

``But they lack the typical coloring and texture we find in those cases,' he said.
A man in southern Spain escaped injury last week when an ice ball eight inches across
weighing nine pounds smashed into his car.
A further nine ice balls have since been reported around Spain over the last week.
