That was always a possiblility. It was the bear raid that forced everyones' hands, and made the puts fly into the money so quickly. That, regardless of how lousy Bear Stearns was, and they were scum, is against the law. And that had better be investigated and prosecuted. Or the wild west...

See how the naked short sellers tarnish the whole practice. I said that would happen. And the fact they spit right in the eye of the warnings from March tell you who THEY think is in charge. Say what you want, this is the same MO as Bear Stearns. Now, let's see if the Regs have the guts to...

Dunno how much was the minimum, but there should be some sort of egregious penalty for being this stupid - in writing: http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_UBS_exhibit_memo.pdf

Precisely. all these investigations kicked in in Jan and Feb 2002. I asked this precise question. I asked about the fact Nato was in Afghanistan, and we all were losing soldiers. Somebody has to buy the weapons. I got back the answer I believed I would get. Things are moving at warp...

I wish it was made up. Much too serious. You must read, and involve yourself. There will be plenty of money to be made when this is breaks. But you can't be sloppy. http://www.deepcapture.com/vanity-fair-reports-greatest-financial-scandal-in-history/ 1. I think it’s wrong to point a...

$.85 They're good at what they do. Nice trade here, $3.40 to .85. And it was inevitable. No position.

Don't worry. Michelle is rnning a poll on CNBC. She says Israel might not even have enough F16 or 17's or whatever they use to pull it off. Great. Cnbc is going to throw us into WWIII. As long as the ratings are good.

i was very surprised to see Barry Ritholtz chime in. He's too smart to have to resort to this sort of behavior, but, if you wanna side with them, have at it. Why? I'll level the playing field. then, we'll see who has the talent. Another reference to how Loeb plays, and how he went from...

Actually, I had puts. Legally. that's different. Legally, I mean. http://www.deepcapture.com/vanity-fair-reports-greatest-financial-scandal-in-history/ Vanity Fair Reports “Greatest Financial Scandal in History” June 30th, 2008 by Mark Mitchell You read it here first. But if you...

"This decade"...... translation, since 9/11. Up until then, it was ok to fleece the rest of us. So, how is UBS going to earn anymoney? Subprime not only a non earner, but an albatross. Tax evasion, no go. And on June 20, the Supreme Court of Louisiana declined to hear an appeal by UBS...

Point: the system has been comprimised to the point that it has failed all, and is and will continue to demand huge taxpayer bailout while Wall St. walks with huge bonus money. The SEC is a corrupt organization from the top. While enforcement types, and finally a new IG, the second in its...

I have sympathy that using manipulation and breaking the law they forced a company under for fun and profit and cost us 29bb. They do it all the time. Biotechs, Banks, doesn't matter. Then, those idiots on CNBC feature the perps and laud them. Like I"ve said, how do you do 25% year in and...

"Anything that has to do with discretionary income is down," owner Bobbi Davis said. "Instead of spending $500 out here, they might only spend $300. I see it every time they raise gas prices." I'll tell you, I've seen alot of signs the economy is in a tail spin, milk prices up, eggs, all...

I reposted this. They are the fails with a little instuction on how they work, and it is SEC data. Put the fails with the events in the article, and you get quite a picture. NSS was only the beginning. You need the reporters in your pocket, then, you can bash and feed, bash and feed. By...

My point exactly. Again, no substance, no facts, just ridicule. Nice.

Now, let me spend six seconds w/you, which is four more than you're worth. I've looked at your posts, and all you do, is put down the previous poster w/o any facts, pertinent discussions, or really anything remotely interesting to say. Go to Yahoo. You'll fit right in.

Check the "End of the SEC " thread. There's plenty of information on ET. However, it is all breaking rather quickly. Ask specific questions in byte (sic) sized pieces. There is so much on each topic. You might go to investigatethesec.com and look at the Elgindy transcripts. A lot will...

I'm very interested in the CNBC angle. Patrick says he's got the fax the reporters used to pitch the HF book. Then, we've know for a while he was given 8000 emails. In a podcast, he revealed he was given a computer with the emails, and it was used to get reporters to pitch a particular...

This is a must read. Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.... http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/08/bear_stearns200808

Obviously, Dad was right. That shit stays in your system for a long time.
