For purchases, 50%; for short sales, 150%.<<

You Are Quite Right, But Why Should It Be Otherwise

Why should anyone be concerned about the decisions concerning the stocks in which they invest now that they know that it the stock goes down the Fed will make it go back up.

One of the constructive things we were beginning to see was some awareness that a bad investment can be made in stock. That seemed significantly absent today.
