Oh yes, I wish I had the $$ to get in now cause the $$$ to be made is gianormous.

We don't start over until you pay me back that $100 you borrowed!
Then we can talk forgive and forget, eh?
LOL

Stock markets are not for credit lending.

Here is another scary piece of info. The World Bank has been totally cyberpenetrated. Preliminary info suggests the Chinese, but an Indian company planted spy software within the WB in DC. Before you pin the blame on China, read the whole article:
