cme increases margin requirements to 100%, page-12

True, Ben. Perhaps a little harsh...

Unfortunately, the market often seems to influenced by people who really have no access to quality advice, their only "news" comes from mainstream financial services...

My beef is not with these individuals, but rather the herd mentality that allows whole segments of the population to be influenced by "economists" hardly even worthy of the name. The ones that refuse to hear a conflicting opinion are my targets with my previous comments.

However, you are right in challenging my last statement.

The investors who refuse original thought and only want to be told what to do by the Sydney Herald are the ones that will hear of the "100% margin increase" and spark a panic...

Hopefully, none of them will be heavy PM's holders, since there hasn't been an article in New Idea about it. Maybe we'll be safe on Monday (?) who knows...
