My brother is asking me if I will buy FB shares. He never asks me anything about finance. People are going insane

In theory there should be shares to short at IB in T+3

This could be correct. After the election all of the sudden became more 'okay' to admit in public they were voting for a communist and so Syriza rose in the polls The risk to this outlook though is an coalition between the bailout parties. From a game theory perspective its what they have to do...

Have to point out that the pre May 06 election polls were completely wrong http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite1_1_04/05/2012_440622

Did a quick database of Greek elections. If anyone has additional polls I missed, let me know

What is specially concerning about this round of risk aversion is the trifecta of EU meltdowns, US recession fears and China hard landing fears all happening at the same time

I'm in the same camp. Quite concerned that the Greek exit meme might get out of hand and lead to a 2008 style crash. Too scared to buy more risk assets but also too scared to take off my hedges

You should have shorted the stock if it is such a nobrainer

JPM has become the fear pinhata, trading with a beta of 3 or something

Looking historically, this market ain't that oversold at all

Fair enough. I saw Ackman thesis about JCP and liked what I saw. At the same time the stock had soared as he brought in the new CEO and they made a bunch of announcements. I didn't want to buy as I had a hunch people would 'change their mind' about the company as the changed they were looking to...

I'm not interested in answering because I'm sure you will nitpick on something in order to make sure you look like you don't lose the debate. I love a good debate where I actually learn something. I'm not sure I can do that with you, no offense

True. He is going to be trouncing the S&P500 by the time the time his thesis play out. I bet we won't hear much from people about how he can't beat the market

I started to buy a stake on JCP. Only a bit 1% position so far. Goal is to get up to 3% or so. What people are saying about the company is just music to my ears 'uncertainty', offending the CEO, talking about bankruptcy etc

Gold could become a play on the EU fears and capital flight(Plus the usual QE, rate cuts). I'm already quite exposed to Gold(17%) due the way I hedge my currency exposure. If I wasn't I would take a bet here that the gold meltdown would turn, small downside and potential big upside

Bankrun hits Spain and Gold soars, coincidence?I don't think so

Not trying to be the first. Just want to minimize the lag for a reasonable price(BBGT is out of the question)

I'm using fly on the wall and its decent for the price. Yet its lagging the price action in the stocks by at least 1 minute for news during market hours. Does anyone have experience with QuoteCenter?It supposed to deliver Reuters news in real-time...
