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
lot of life-shortening stress.

I figure I'm about as well off since I've never had excess cash to
invest poorly. g

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.)

OK, I just e-mailed it from _The Economist_ (and copied myself, to see
what
you're getting). They give you an ASCII file of the text and a link to the
article with graphics. With The Economist, you always want the graphics.

The trouble is, the 10-page "briefing" consists of 10 separate articles.
The
one I sent you is two pages long. I can send you the other nine, I think.
Let me know if you like the first one and I'll give it a try.

Are these ten articles by the same geniuses who dreamt up this
nightmare?

Nope.
