Unfortunately March has not been very kind to us. Lets hope that March can end on a strong note and at least give everyone a 1% profit before we enter April. Good luck.

Still would like to see more IFT's per month or at least the ability to submit and IFT by 4:00 pm and have it take effect midnight the same day. Sure would enhance my ability to "Retire with dignity". Just my two cents...

At least one or two more IFT's would be nice and most of us wouldn't use them every month anyway. But I really think that they should change the trade time to 4pm Eastern. Noon is just to difficult to make a good decision. Think about those that live in Hawaii or Alaska. They have to decide by 8am local time or earlier what they want to do.

Mars could actually find itself inside the comet's extended atmosphere as the comet passes by only 138,000 km away.
