Whether or not the assertions in one particular post will be immediately confirmed by what is revealed, is besides the point. If you were in the market, you would understand that. People who are in the market, know what is going on. There are still stocks that find their appropriate price levels...

Long live Bud Fox or whomever his equivalent may be!

To quote a phrase from Shawshank Redemption: "Are you being deliberately obtuse?" You're so invested in disparaging any allusion to the proposition that big-time stock manipulation is going on, you come off as an evangelist toasting invisible marshmallows at the burning bush. I sometimes...

Big: I thik the message has been sent. Now let's see who jumps on board with Buffet to sweeten the deal. Anyone want to venture a guess?

Buffet's keeping bad company these days, someone should give his mother a call and tell her who little Warren is hanging out with.

Mvic, thanks for the compliment. Banjo, that's a convenient response, but knowing Wolfe, that's not the case. His antedeluvian take on things have left him operatic on a sandbar, without the imagination or mettle it takes to get back to shore. He's clearly lost.

There are many issues to be taken with Wolfe's article. The first being that he attributes the vile characteristics of the people he describes to the fact that they are Jewish, mostly, not because they are poorly brought up louts who lack the self-respect to pretend dignity. We are somehow...

For those of you who are disinclined to use the link without knowing the subject, it's an article written by Tom Wolfe about the men who run hedge funds. Someone who tags himself as Steve-Cohen left a feedback comment.

Hmmmmm...........I noticed how a certain hedge fund titan failed to maintain his earnings trajectory last year. Interesting to see what scrutiny can render.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have no faith in either party. The only reason I would prefer to see a democratic contender win is that the republican establishment has been in to long, they're fat, sloppy, incompetent and corrupt which is predictable when either part holds sway for this long...

Hmmm........well actually, abusing small animals is generally the first indication of sociopathic behavior. Abusers begin small, work their way up the food chain, generally stopping at women and children as they're too pussy to pick on someone their own size. Equating yelling at a child with...

Anyone who is a real man would never consider beating a woman or abusing a child. Any man who would, is a pussy. But I'm not telling you something you don't already know, lowlife.

Having been witness to the long-term effect this kind of abuse has on a child, I can only say, it's a very sad and ugly picture. People who attempt to cast blame on the kid, are in part, responsible for creating an atmosphere where this kind of thing is acceptable. It's not acceptable to...

Managers Use Hedge Funds as Big I.R.A.’s By JENNY ANDERSON Published: April 17, 2007 Many Americans squirrel away as much as they can into retirement investment accounts like 401(k)s and I.R.A.’s that allow them to compound their earnings tax free. The accounts also...

I once saw a guy stand on his chair and proceed to curse out a group of traders so badly, they stood in a state of mortification. Not responding only got this guy angrier, until he was so red-faced and frustrated he started spitting at them. Then he slipped on his own spit. That was...

No, I'm just curious. Sometimes people make allusions to insane people who work in the industry, I just thought it would be amusing to start a thread that could be home to these stories. I've heard a few that are completely over the top, just wondering if crazy is the exception rather than the...

Of all of the people who work the street, who's the craziest? Do tell us, anonymously, if need be, of crazy behavior you have witnessed. Does your boss need to be on medication? Have you seen someone go ballistic lately?

I appreciate the fact that many people have always grasped the idea that the SEC is not actually a real regulatory agency to the extent it pretends to be. Also, that the securities industry is, and always has been, the method by which to distribute wealth in a manner that is designed to benefit...
