I used to use tinyurl all the time, but it seems browsers have gotten better at working with html, so if the URL I'm trying to send looks like it may wrap, I encode it as a true html link (< href="http://www.somedomain.com ">visible link</a>).

I do use it if I want to surprise someone, so they don't have a hint of where they're going beforehand. :-)

Congratulations you got in just before this monster rally.
BTW you can buy SSO, it doesn't have a large load like RYDX. SSO is the 2x of the S&P 500. For the NASDAQ it's QLD. Russell 2000, UWM. This rally was due to options expiry Friday (today). It will probably last a few days; the trick is to ID the peak, then get into the bear funds. Read the wikipedia link about the biggest one day stock market rallies - almost all were during the Great Depression - IOW monster one day rallies signify a sick market that's going down. IF you want to understand why this market has a long way down still, read this by Roubini. The unwinding of the derivatives (hedge funds):

Not that this means anything (since I haven't sold anything yet) the RYLDX stock should be up about 13% today. You pay some hefty front end loads on these 2X stocks/funds so it doesn't really pay to trade them a lot. They are more buy and hold IMHO.

I was rear ended in my pickup truck about 90 minutes after the sale so I quickly went from 4 cars to 2 cars. Anyway, the guy who bought it was from NC and drove it home (about 5 hours). The car sold for a measly $4500 (not too happy about that but there isn't a huge market for a car like that) and I used the money to:
1) buy a broken HDTV off Craigslist ($100)
2) buy $4400 worth of RYLDX (mutual fund that does 2X the Dow)

Hopefully the RYLDX shares will pay off well in the next 3 years so I can start building my next car (probably a red LS-1 NB). The website and lightweight Miata forum will live on.
