Another area they have (again) turned a blind eye too, is that of late trading by MF's. Every time there is significant news after the bell, sure as hell the indices are still moving, well after their official closes, today being no exception. SSDD, (same s^&, different day, (week, month...

maybe they knew high oil prices were coming, and wanted to load up prior to high input costs kicked-in. or, it could be part of the bigger plan for the SPR...they are gonna fill 'em up to the brim, with numerous bodies per, close the lids, and let 'em stew til they become some sort of...

If one ever wanted an example of the 'fpxes guarding the hen-house', look no farther then todays testimony before congress by BB, HP, CC. Their collective abilities at 'keeping a straight-face' is a remarkable event in it's own right. Amazing, but expectable, really.

The comment and logic made sense to me when they said it, however, it strikes me that if Leh approached PE about taking it private, the stock would still decline, and do so rapidly, as any shops may initially balk, (even if they, and especially if they have an interest in buying it) and bet...

Any insights here as to the present conditions of more of the top-tier hedge funds? Or even lower-tiered hf's? It may be more indicate of any possible up-coming blowups, as they are typically leveraged, as opposed to the mutual fund managers in the op's list, as they are not typically...

may as well just wait for them to go bankrupt, again, ditch both their debts to creditors, and wipeout their existing shareholder base, again, go public again at inflated prices, and short them.

Musta been a 'count-down to six o'clock' situtaion all week at the FDIC. Only the beginning...the Indymac situation, despite that it is 'being underreported', and 'downplayed', will ultimately spread to other banking institutions, likely at a quickening pace. They have just taken out the...

Bernanke opens Fed Discount Window to all US Citizens...Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Taking all manner of collateral, bring your garage sale items here. In order to keep it orderly, just bring receipts of what you got and what it's worth, and we'll cut you a check. Best regards, BB, (your...

If that happened, markets would still be liquidating afterwards, as there would be massive failures right and left, with all the leverage and leveraged participants, which would take time to sort-out, and effectively 'take-out' those that would be technically insolvent, even if it is only for a...

Curtis sez: Fred is dead http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nwcpGZE6A

Something about the pair of them appearing before congress, and asking for / promoting additional powers for the Fed, etc, in 'regulating' the financial markets, seems somehow eerily similar to John Merriwether, after the collapse and failure of LTCM, seeking new investors... In short, I...

I don't think JL can legislate his way out of a wet paper bag...he has alienated his core constituency in the senate, and, he is the biggest bore in the place. If not for the growing clamor to 'do something', he would have 'no chance in hell'. Now, despite his 'both hands tied behind his...

you makin odds on exactas and trifectas? must be nice having a deep cookie-jar to go running to, the fed window (in case of emergencies), at damned-nears free rates, and now there's talk of 'making it permanant'...hell, if they can't make maoney trading when they borrow it for next to...
