I feel for you man, now you have to do the NFC...I'm looking forward to playing with it though!

I much prefer a ballpoint to rollerball or fountain, I grew up using a fountain pen and still have a couple of nice ones but they are just don't do it for me, rollerballs sacrifice the practicality of a ballpoint and the style of a fou

Additionally he doesn't understand trading, just because they lost a dollar on a trade (likely on another index) doesn't mean they lost a dollar over all, they presumably listed the sell-order because that price is already itm.
