Sure...
Actually, that measures the value of a parachute.

OK. I'm trying to follow along. But, is a gallon of gas more expensive than a RA or less? I'm guessing that a plane ticket is significantly more expensive than a RA, but with oil comming down, a RA may be a better bargaining tool.

Help a brutha' out here.

P.S. Using the analogy being argued here, would the value of a RA be determined by how far you did not want to push it home?

I actually bought some stock today. No ****. So did quite a few others in the last hour, apparently. So instead of another wave of mutual fund selloffs in the last hour, there was some support.
