Good grief, hasn't he already done enough damage!

Not sure I agree with your whole post, nor your interpretation of Rand's positivist philosophy, and capitalism is certainly not a zero sum system (ie many capitalist solutions are win win solutions rather than win lose solutions), nevertheless capitalist enterprise would certainly rank as one of...

What you and AustinP miss is that humanity has the ability, by employing reason, to not only rectify the damage caused, but to improve its lot. I suggest that you look at the best of humanity's accomplishments, rather than its worst, to see what potential exists. What's the alternative, pray to...

today, when so many kool aid drinkers are celebrating their fantastical construct for the universe's existence I congratulate you for not falling prey to the weak-mindedness of so many. For thinking for yourselves, believing in the ingenuity and creativity and essential decency of man and his...

They had better insist on being paid in Euros, after they are done the $ will be worth even less than it is now :D

I was very surprised at how few I got, usually get a lot more. Given the big blocks that were sold in to the pop looks like they didn't spread it around much despite the huge number of shares. WS must be hurting :)

No one got ANY shares allocated?

JPM saying that gov mortgage bailout is the only way. They want their cake and to eat it too.

Anyone get allocated any of V and how many shares?

Who the hell got a 605K V allocation. Seeing all these big blocks going off at 58 (605K, 300K,183K, 250K). Are these the IBs shares?

Nice trade Aaron.

1. Dow may have been positive after massive Fed intervention but all other marekts around the globe were off anywhere between 2-5% on the news and intraday the US markets made news lows. That qualifies as a large impact in my book. 2. Yes trouble at BSC was predictable, what was not was a $2...

$2

That really would be the "bottom", and the ultimate buy signal :D

Good posts brettman9, thanks.

I think the new facility for the primary dealers and the 6 month term is a much bigger deal than a lot of people (at least on ET) are realizing. Will be interesting to see what happens. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=afKxJH0i2v.k&refer=home

Any "good news" won't be that good for BSC as it will likely be dilutive or hit earnings or be a low buyout, but any news of capital infusion in BSC will be good for the market, just like the Ambac news didn't do much for Ambac's stock price but the market rallied on it. Don't go long BSC go...
