Is it me or should the slope on the third chart be closer to "0"? The fact that it isn't makes me very nervous to hold TBT.

I am a great DISbeliever in short term trading, but I bought some TMV to see how it would affect my margin account (it's treated as totally unmarginable, it turns out) but 40 minutes later I had a 2% gain and I sold it. I get $5.00 commissions and I covered those as well. Now to calculate my annualized return on that caper . . . Well, it exceeds the capacity of my scientific calculator to express. It appears that at that rate, in a month, I would multiply my original investment by over 2,350,000,000. That's even faster than the Fed can print money!
