I get tired of hearing people moaning about IOC management and their press releases.  They have a gag order in effect which makes taking pot shots at them appear like shooting fish in a barrel.  Kind of like being a political candidate and unable to run any media in the last month of the campagin.  Actually, VERY much like that.

People need to review what IOC HAS said and deal with it.  If you are margined or playing options or playing margined options then my ability to empathize with you has become a pretty distant memory.  Hopefully you have expirations right this time, but something many of us have given up on.

Well said Art....completely agree!
