i'm probably the last guy here who would tell anyone that writing options is an absolute no-no, but writing stuff for 20 CENTS on a $65 stock?...
it doesn't matter to me what you like to believe in. i'm not selling you anything, and i have zero financial incentive to take the time to...
that's as accurate as someone saying there is no water in the ocean.
hey, you didn't have to slap her in the face, but if she was a figure skater, i'm sure there were other places that you wouldn't had mind...
edge this. edge that. sometimes that word just makes me wanna slap someone when he keeps on using it with wreckless abandon. :)
