Max Yep. Margin can be very risky, specially for this kind of volatile stock as CNTR, but basically it's same as credit card. I heard today good real life story about using credit cards. One of founders of Hansabank (biggest Estonian bank, which was sold with very good price to swedish bank) was in restaurant and got fantastic cake. When he asked about recipe, they told him, that this is company secret. So, he thought, that everybody have the price, he asked, what can be the price for this cake recepie. After negotiating with shef, the waiter told, it's 40. So, he asked to put it on credit card. After he got his credit card statement, he saw the price 40 000. As he had signed the order without looking to it (as he usually do), he had nothing to afterwards. So he published this company secret and asked everyone to forward it. Here it is: > 2 cups butter > 4 cups flour > 2 tsp. soda > 2 cups sugar > 5 cups blended oatmeal > 24 oz. chocolate chips > 2 cups brown sugar > 1 tsp. salt > 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated) > 4 eggs > 2 tsp. baking powder > 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) > 2 tsp. vanilla > Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder. > Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix > together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. > Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls > and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 > minutes at 375 degrees. Veiko
