Name-calling makes you look so, well, pathetic.
You keep saying MARGIN like you have a clue. How much margin is in 401K plans and IRAs?
Many brokers don’t allow margins in certain kinds of accounts. That is not relevant.
ONce again, take a look at how far down the indexes are and once AGAIN take a look at how much each tick costs you if you are on the wrong side.
Sheesh, you can’t understand how that is going to generate margin calls?
Give it a rest.You are clueless
401 k plans are not marginable. Well, you can do covered calls in them.
The decline every day between 2 and 3 is because margin calls go out around 1 PM
This decline wiped out small margin players two weeks ago.
The big guys (investment banks) are going down with the oil collapse.
Who knew that a simple flu could shit-can the entire world economy.
