Hi Paul, When I'm sweating under my arms and listening to all the horrific new noise of scary down days, I always remind myself that : "The only one who gets hurt riding on a roller coaster is the one who jumps out" Hope it helps. Bobs

OT The MF global bankruptcy is not exactly a macro event. Its a real problem when investors have cash stolen out of their accounts and are then forced to either come up with more cash or forced to close their positions and the CME and the regulators all stand around going- we are looking into this, instead of making investors/speculators whole. If most people did what the folks at IMF global did they would be arrested and maybe out on bail if they could come up with the cash. Why isnt this happening here? It sounds to me practically this adds one more more wrinkle for investors and more uncertainty in the market. If your broker goes bankrupt, your cash may disappear, if you are on margin your position may be liquidated at a moments notice and it may take years to see a penny of your money. someone forwarded me some excellent interviews but i cant post the link. i imagine you can find them at puplova/ financial sense/ ann barnhardt/ gerald celente. I read the transcripts. very scary.
