Bwhaha, happy meals, you kill me - the breakfast burrito is how I start my day. Is there a lot of people out there waiting to unload from year 2000 investments on any rally - that is called overhang no? Can the market fall any amount to get them to dump or will they only unload shares in a rising market?

I bought some News Corp but I think I need a new broker - I hadn't traded for a very long time and these guys are trying to discriminate in favor of customers who have margin loans or cash accounts with them - so they imposed some "credit limit" on my trade and I didn't buy as much as I wanted. Maybe they saved me from myself :) In other words they don't know how much I can borrow from my lender and assume as if I am going to pay with cash.... I'll ask my lender (Leveraged Equities) who is a better online broker I can use who can work smoothly with them. Or I could just switch everything to these guys, though I am kind of reluctant to do that. It all feels like a big hassle from the other side of the world here.
