So you're saying that AHM was NOT an NYSE listed stock with shares outstanding each held long by someone blah, blah, blah orderflow to the specialist? Is that your understanding of the matter? Tell me.

I'm trying to remember how many layoffs AHM announced before they went under. :cool: lol

BLOW UPS. God. Almost too painful to even remember, nevermind post about. Maybe someday someone like myself will post about a real BLOW UP and what that feels like. Even so and either way, NY is brave to have started this thread at all. Good thread for more reasons than one.

p.s. Best of luck to you. You'll be okay.

I'm not sure I understand the magnitude of the situation either, and so it's hard to know what to say. NY, have you BLOWN UP or have you blown up? I 've done both, so believe me I know how you're feeling either way, and trust me when I tell you that having to go out and get a "real" job, is...

Mschey, you are dead right. What the hell was I smoking. Sorry about that. Brain hiccup.

Retire, I was playing devil's advocate. I don't think you or anyone else knows where the market is going next, particularly given the situation with the financial sector and global exposure to subprime which, despite the Bernanke/Bush dog-and-pony show Friday, is still with us. Assumptions...

So you trade once every 5 or 10 years or how does this work exactly? By the way, no argument here about repeatable patterns...just wondering about how you trade this realization.

Is it really? So we're in an uptrend, is that it?

A most excellent question.

So what's the big picture? Break it down for those of us who aren't sure.

Earnings are coming out of the big brokerages this week, so that should provide some volty---anyone looking for the Fed to cut on 9/18 is dreaming, imo.

Cold water Ben weighs in. No rate cut, the markets sell off, and everyone on CNBC is arguing. Larry K. in particular is upset with Ben. Next on deck, George Dubya with his homeowner bailout plan. LOL What a circus. Speaking of which, where's the popcorn guy?

Still shorting and and all pops on BSC next week some time, personally. September earnings just around the corner.

Given the Bush bailout sentiment? The lender with the most short interest, the most beaten down but "legit" brokerage, The SPX, the Dow....hard to choose. Place your bets, ladies and gents, what say you?

Listen here, stock_trad3r. Bush and Bernanke are bailing your silly ass out as much as they're bailing out anyone's else's. Don't take credit where absolutely zero is due. LOL you dope.

Well President Bush has a little present for you today. This is going to be something to behold.

Colossal, gut-wrenching, hellacious short squeeze on deck in the financials and housing stocks in particular. Even if there's no real substance to any of this, the psychological effect will be enormous. Anyone short any sector will be in for some real pain today if things pan out the way they...

I never expected to see these guys cannilbalizing eash other, but the thing is, Merrill's right. Let's just hope they don't put out a "buy" on these same stocks three days later like they did with CFC.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how it will play out any other way.
