I am customer at IB since 10 years now and since then only thing happend where some system outages that in total maybe summed up to 2 hours. I have also had other accounts (for safety reasons) but much more problems there. I think its like a marriage. You try something new and need some time to...

Porsche now at 52.

just for the records, my short Porsche at 66.5 Euro is now at 52 Euro. Think some more people discovered Porsche has some problems, not only SAC.

here in Germany things are treated maybe a little different. My understanding is, that IF Bafin finds Porsche guilty of breaking the rules Porsche will be fined for that. But the much heavier part is that after that, hedge fonds who lost money on the trade can go to court against Porsche...

yes, this is what all these people just don't understand that its the best time to invest if there is blood on the street. The current spread between Fed-funds and stock dividend yield is plus 2.3% (dividend yield is now higher than fed funds yield). Last time it was larger than zero we have to...

its insider trading. They CAUSED the short squeeze by their announcment to own more options than previously said and NOW they profit from this by buying back a 5% stake with a HUGE profit. If they would have just collected the stocks and kept them it would have been OK. It fullfills every...

Porsche will be sued of market manipulation and they will have to pay lots of billions to the hedgefonds that suffered. The next big looser in this game will be Porsche.

Porsche published yesterday they will sell back 5% of the VW shares. This as I believe has now finally fullfilled all measures of insider trading and market manipulation because Porsche is now profiting from the ridiculous high VW stock price which they drove up themselves. Goldman Sachs...

also agree on the first deflation, then inflation stuff. But he should be able to calculate that a 20% move from 739 does not equal 1100 but less than 900. What people should keep in mind is that advisers who "saw this all coming" do not necessarily can predict the future moves any better...

they will definitely not do this because this would be highly illegal market manipulation. I think that Porsche will be in big trouble anyway because of all this. Lots of hedge funds could sue them and will sue them.

problem is that Dax Future is trading far below Cash-Dax.

Deutsche Börse is a joke, they should have stopped VW trading days ago. No ETF / Index tracker can follow Dax index now any more, impossible.

yes, if baron does not know these facts he is a fool. But there are 2 ways out of this. 1) VW emmits new stocks (Kapitalerhöhung) 2) Niedersachsen sells its stake 1) is especially attractive because VW (Piech) still does not like to have Wiedeking in the boat. And they could raise a lot...

in Germany they think about a law that the mortage lender has to keep a certain percentage of the loan and only can sell parts of it. I think its a good idea.

yes, very well said indeed. However giving a 700k mortage to people who earn 300 a week is not allowing for failure but a guarantee for failure. One the other hand when I founded my business here in Germany and needed a credit my bank told me even if they think my business plan is great they...

that is a really funny one. We over here in Europe have laws (its called BASELII) which protects such people for themselves. They simply would not get the loan from the bank and if they would, they could sue the bank afterwards for not consulting them properly. Please note, that you may be...

that is always what majority of people think at a bottom. I don't know where the bottom is but I think the current melt down has to reasons. First reason is deleveraging and the second is indeed a world wide recession which will definitely come. However stocks always make a bottom in the...

100% agree ! No good trader should EVER get even close to a margin call situation. He has absolutely no right to complain about anything that happens if he does not act right away.

maybe some people in the know... Bretton Woods II in the making and some friends already know the outcome....

I love this guy ! "the package is so bad that even the french want to copy it" LOL!!!
