Can you spot the selloff day by looking at the lower pane?

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh, Hey! ...

There are thousnds and thousands of wives learning tonight what a margin call is.  Likely also derivatives.

W - wife

H - Investing genius hubby

 

w - But you promised me we would go out and eat tonight.

h - Well, uh, we need to retrench a bit.

w - Huh?

h - I had a bad day with our investments today and got a margin call.

w - WTF is a margin call?

h - Tries and basically fails to explain and adds...It means I had to put up more money for my investmenst.

w - WTF are you investing in

h - Well this slick derivative investment that is triple leveraged and goes up big time when the oil futures market goes up.  Since I bought it on margin, the leverage is like 20 to 1.  Awesome .... has been great for 5 years now.  but not today.

w - Investing?  That sounds like gambling.  And BTW - why did you tap our retirement savings account today?

h - For the margin call.  My bet, er I mean investment goes up big time if oil goes up.  It went down.

w - Well what was the net today?

h - Overall, I lost about 290 K including the margin call.  In fact, I lost more than we had invested.  So don't send that retirement letter yet.

w - Walks out, goes to het Mothers and calls attorney friend.  Googles derivative and margin call.
