MB, I think that DELL guy is just setting up his broker for a lawsuit. If he exercises an option like that and the broker did the trade for him, it would seem to be a pretty clear case of negligence. Ramsey

Waiting for this market to crash must be what it is like to wait for a rich uncle, who has named you in his will, to die. I have never been in that situation. But it's like they have him all hooked up to tubes and respirators, with AG as the chief attending physician. And no one will pull the plug.

WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. trade deficit soared unexpectedly to a record $16.99 billion in January from $14.06 in December as exports fell and import rose, the Commerce Department said on Thursday. The January gap in goods and services trade was much higher than the $14.9 billion Wall Street analysts said they were looking for and was fueled by a record deficit in trade in manufactured goods and a surge in the trade deficit with China. The Commerce Department said a $23.42 billion deficit in merchandise trade was the highest on record as imports of computers and other capital good rose along with consumer goods and exports of industrial materials and farm goods fell. biz.yahoo.com
