but why would the market move up?

no divergent talk into anti american, this is a pure markets reactions thread. I remember back in the 80's the markets fluated alot during the isereali strikes

drchaos if nuclear weopens were used anywhere in the middle east, by anyone, I dont think the markets would recover for years. The downturn would make the depression look like a cakewalk. QUOTE]Quote from DrChaos: I think the likely response would be an Iranian missile attack on Israel's...

I was doing research on what happened during the The Yom Kippur,6 day war,and The Osirak Raid in iraq where isreal attacked an nuclear reactor. That was in 82 I belieave. Thats what I think, unless it destabilizes the entire region. And how iran would respond. And how isreal would respond...

I was wondering how the stockmarket and others would react if isreal made an surprise attack on iran's nuclear facilities? Yeah it would go down alot and oil would go up, but is their any precedent for it? Like would it react something to the iraq war where it went down for a bit but then went...

yeah but why did they allow that coco trader to get away with busting so many trades.

Probably a decent amount, but its probably not as large as everyone thinks. Since alot of people in canada hold their longterm holdings in RRSP or other savings vehichles like that. I wonder how it would effect all of those products. But its sounds really reasonable. they are proposing if...

If the tories win next week, they will eliminate the capital gains tax in canada. So will this inspire old bushey to finally eliminate your capital gain tax's. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=0033d316-2625-45f6-baf5-92de689adf62&k=70092&p=1

There seems tobe a meltdown in the japanese markets, and the futures are way down. What do you think will happen tommorow?

They were pretty impressive today, with the nearterm jan calls going over 80K for almost all the strikes, and then some of the later expiring ones getting in on the action. I know its all about that dividend, but it was still pretty impressive.

Funny thing is that baring rouge trader is now a professional poker player. And like in his old job isnt using his own money to play. Im surprise those british guys didnt try to stomp him out.

why did the chinese let him build such a large position. And when he was losing in the millions why didnt they just cover.

lol seriously. The last I heard about that guy, he got the people's justice. I thought he was just beatened, tared, and then beatened again. The japanese broker sure got off light being sacked. LOL if I was him I wouldnt be turning on my car and not entering elevators alone.

thats insane, Im canadian, but you are talking about tons of paperwork if you want to list every single trade.

What ever happened to that rogue chinese copper trader and japanese broker that mistakenly sold shares for shares for a few yen?

stay simple. Just get 1 cable and dsl business packages. If one fails the other one will still be up.

lol you mean the same wallstreet that couldnt figure out refco was a fraud, enron was a fraud, worldcom was a fraud, ...and it goes on. Or the same people was telling everybody delta, nwa, and delphi wouldnt go bankrupt.

yeah but from my point of view it just seemed like goldman proposed a shady ipo. Where they gave away 40 some percent of the company just to get onto the market. My view is that goldman could have just went with an ipo of the exchange, and see how the market would have valued nyse. Since...

but what goldman was basically a rip off ipo. NYSE could off came public and made just as much for seat holders if they went public by themselves, and then bought arca.

just wondering do you guys think goldman sold out the nyse for too little to archa. Ok its nyse buying archa, but it seems unfair since the share size of the nyse. It seemed seat holders got ripped off.
