JMD: Technical analyst or hand wringer? Pick one. I thought Ramsey had the hand wringer spot down cold but now you jump in with both feet.(hands?) Have you been talking to Ramsey in between raids on Maurice's sherry stash? (I suppose Maurice is out trying out his economic theories on some sheep and left the cabinet open) If this keeps up you will be banished to the backyard with qdog. Renby, come back to earth my man, happiness is defined as being able to impose your will on your environment. Sounds to me like you should be happy as a clam. You seem to have quite a bit of influence on your surroundings. Congratulations, keep up the good work! Everyone else: Macro or micro economics, nothing matters. We are all here with the Q because it will endure despite the crashes, crisis and such. As Maurice has pointed out, the truly defining trait of mankind is that we can sit around all day and talk to each other. Crashes may change the subject but not the activity. Heck this is a fun ride. Up to 71, down to 44, and back to 60, all in 8 months! Just think what will happen when the street finally figures this stock out! Enough cheer leading for now. Jeff Vayda

JMD, Thanks for more SuperD info. Is Canada's currency under attack or is it resource prices, which in effect establishes the value of their currency? BTW Can Doll has been falling steadily since 1991. I know. I'm in the unfortunate position of owning some Canadian Real Estate. dave

Mike - part of what you said was ... Actually, the Fed establishes Margin Reserve Requirements which say that if Bank A loans Ramsey $1000 to buy Baseball Trading Cards, then said bank only needs to have a few hundred Super Dollars kicking around the vaults to make the loan. [don't know current requirements; haven't looked for a while] Note that the bank can merely create money; the wispy part being the difference between $1000 and their real dough in the vault. In real life, the Fed very, very rarely adjusts Margin Requirements. I think you are being "loose" with the word "margin." The Fed sets reserve requirements for member banks of the Federal Reserve System (basically, pretty much all banks operating in the U.S.) (remember, the Citicorp in London or Paris deals in Eurodollars ( not subject to reserve requirements)). The Fed also sets margin requirements for stock (and bond) trading in U.S. securities markets. Jon.
