Nope, everything I'm reading says stocks, options, and futures.
My worry is the dollar. At some point, we're going to push the world too far and lose our status as its reserve currency. The lawmakers aren't...
There was a paper I posted earlier where it had derived the $150 billion. I still haven't had time to read it (husband is out of town this week...
