I had to google "margin call". I think I learned about it I way back
in Civics class in high school and haven't needed it since.

That's good. People who worry about margin calls are people who live with a

Drat, NYT threw away my identity. I re-registered and will read that
article now. Wow, 6 pages? It's a biggie!

And it's not bad. But the Economist stuff this week is better. If you want
I'll see if I can e-mail you the article(s). It's 10 pages of print.

I regret having turned down the free prescription for The Economist a
decade ago. If the article is online, point me to it. Otherwise,
email is great. You have my real addy. (Say 'HI' to SWMBO for me.)
