    Lost 5000 bucks on a FAT Finger mistake

    Dudes, if you've read his previous posts, he's more or less an investor, not a full fledged trader. Doesn't have the ultratight risk parameters like traders do.

    Bear Stearns Plans $3.2 Billion Fund Rescue to Halt Fire Sale

    "Bear Stearns Plans $3.2 Billion Fund Rescue to Halt Fire Sale". The mother of all martingales. Will they have $6.4B to put up if this turns sour? If you want to average down on a loser, I guess this is how you do it. :D

    Hmm my Dell Inspiron 1501 automatically turns the external monitor into the primary when I shut the cover down (the factory setting was to put it into sleep mode but there's a control panel that allows me to change the settings). And obviously, if it works you'd still need an external keyboard...

    Is China crashing?

    The Chinese government just allocated $300 bil. out of some $1 tril. of their trade surplus to diversify their portfolio (i.e. have you noticed US bonds going lower while indices worldwide are getting incessant bids?) to compensate for their strengthening RMB. It has nothing to do with the...

    Short Selling (Naked??) Kills Hedge Fund; Investors Sue Prime Broker (UBS)

    Pfft, if anything UBS did the right thing by putting an end to that fraud and his investors were what one might call "acceptable losses" for the greater good of the market.

    China to Invest $3 Billion in Blackstone

    My thoughts on the matter: - China obviously divesting US Treas. and seeking alpha. Bond yields will move up over time with the Chinese bids dissipating - might break the mortgage camel's back imo; US stocks may benefit short term as they pour money into different assets but longer term...

    Professional view on S&P 500

    More substantial than what most of us will ever provide on this board, including the guy who called it a garbage. Big boys are playing the sell hard-give 'em a little short signal-then squeeze 'em to death with big bids (they aren't really buying huge but herding the hurt to that direction)...
