Take a mortgage and a second mortgage on your house and throw the
money into the bin thats atleast faster.......with the same result

NAME WITHHELD, as its nothing personal but to the general public:
Give me a break ! I see guys playing around in cocoa who dont know
whether comish is per ticket, per ctck or per RT or per cocoa bean -
others play in sugar and dont know what the active month is..........
One day your market will be "locked limit" - and then you will ask:
"How do I get out ? "
I tell you how to get out: Open the window and jump !
and soon "somebody" wíll say,
"I lost all my money in futures - how can I sue my broker - what
lawyer to call "...... sure......
GOOD LUCK, guys - you need it !
Meant not as unfriendly as it may sound
