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.

Oil prices falling is good. Oil prices collapsing is disruptive.
