Impeachment vote delayed until Monday. What a surprise......

Maybe we'll get the 1000 point sell-off on Friday and AMZN will run to 400.

Tip, That is one reason why I never recommend futures on SI. Another is that I used to talk to folks about futures trades and nary a one followed me on no margin. Or even on 50%. They almost all tried huge margin and lost their shirts. I do not feel responsible, but I do feel bad about it. It is sort of like when I wanted to try 90/10 at The St. Paul. They wanted to do 0/100. I told them that was a mug's game, but they didn't care. If you can make money at 90/10, you can make ten times as much at 0/100. <G>

Tip, you don't have to buy the futures contracts to take advantage of a move in their price...you can buy options on them, which also limits your downside risk.
