well some of the more exotic products developed are in house stuff, that they create and sell off. Some are derivatives of derivitives and are done all in house sold to another party and then they wrap it up as another product and sell it again. All of this isnt strongly regulated because its...

I know, I heard rumours about this going back to when a few hedgies had problems awhile back. Its just too tempting for a few players not to play with extreme leverage. You have it, and you say why not, especially if your only been in it for 5 years, and you think deriv instructments have...

yeah apparently a few large firms have delivery and payment issues.

please no IB is down threads, it would be a mile long ...and depending on the day and conditions

I was wondering, when longhorn comes out, I was going to wait a couple of months before upgrading, or should I wait longer for them to fix the bugs.

I was wondering if Interactive brokers will ever give pit access and list all of the commods and futs, for trading. I know they are strictly ecn based company, but they should start considering it as an option, I think alot of futures traders would like that option of pit or ecn.

Im sure you and milken were playing find the rat in my pants games :D

lol another pat supporter. Were you one of the guys defending worldcom and enron :D

lol you better watch that cnbc video again, thats what it sounded to me, its because he is so confusing. He makes claims, and then goes into another stream of thought, he mixes in naked short selling but then sues for insider trading, or is it insider trading. It turns out tobe some obscure...

my question is why is pat using his dad as chairmen, he saids he treats his company like a private company...what !!!!!! ]Quote from AAAintheBeltway: Just a simple yes or no ,ok. Are you "Bob O'Brien?"

Im sure enron and worldcom said the same things, that they failed becuase of short sellers not because fundamentally their businesses were flawed

the question is, is if overstock is a good company. Pat would like to muddle the whole thing and put in the naked shorting story but hes sueing for insider trading. Not naked shorting. Pat doesnt dispute the fundamentals on overstock, its horrible. And it makes youi wonder why pat is making...

another crappy company blaming its mistakes on others....why not blame the toothfairy and santa clause or the black helicoptors.

The only thing I dont get is that he makes claims that him and family owns 98% of the float and only 200K is the actual float. Im like what????? Byrnes only owns a million shares. If its true theres only 200K actually free float, then why not just buy up all of the shares. Its only 200K...

lol what interview were you watching...pat was going insane. He made claims about naked short selling but then he said he was charging them with insider trading. He then claim the SEC was falsely accusing him and that his stock price was going down not because of his bad performance but of...

lol you dont care about fundies, what do you care about then. the problem with byrnes, his problem is that he cant deliver what he promised. Hes been promising for years to deliver profits with increasing revenues..but its the reversed.

well my question is that it doesnt explain overstocks bad performace, he promised way back when over stock first started by now we should see accerating profits and he lied. This is what bother people, his company seems tobe losing money even with increasing revenue. He doesnt deny it, he...

well patrick is confusing, hes charging rocker with insider trading, but in the media he is mixing in naked shorting charges......I think pat is just losing it. If he really wants to prove shorts wrong...then start making money......and increasing profits like he said years ago when he pulled...

lol, yeah it happens, but patrick isnt denying his company is doing bad right now, that the sec is investigating him and his company...everything the critics are saying he doesnt deny. He has a gripe with the fact that rocker got insider information. However, he is making a case for naked...

lol yeah, hes hilarious...but he was going nuts...he was like insider trading...the jumping to shorts...he was all over the place...saying there were conspiracies...lol
