Well, what's really despicable, is they did in fact have a plan, and it called for using public transportation to evacuate those who could not drive themselves. The question is, why wasn't the <a href="http://www.cityofno.com/SystemModules/PrintPage.aspx?portal=46&tabid=26">plan </a>followed...

how about a link to the article, or a description of the nuts and bolts.

"markets climb a wall of worry."

it's just like flipping houses.

if someone as naive as you can make money, anyone can. and who asked you "who you blame," bozo? what has that got to do with -- and here's the funny part -- a "merger arbitrageur" who trades with IB? It's like Carl Icahn using an eTrade account. yet another poseur.

guys, get out and get some FRESH AIR. maybe take a little trip to the library (it's free) and check out a book called, "The Doomsday Myth: Ten Thousand Years of Economic Crises." And don't forget your Ritalin. Cheers.

sure. arbs do it all the time.

Ah, there's the payoff. No wonder the NYT is pushing this. One might wonder why a rocket scientist and hedge fund guy like this wouldn't apply some of that financial engineering expertise to hedging the risk of fund failures or the risk of illiquidity of their portfolio products. He...

just to keep things in perspective, be sure to rent "Boiler Room."

oh, I love talk like this. WTF, Schwab and Goldman don't lie to their clients (and everone else)?
