    Should the SEC put back uptick rule, circuit breakers, combination of circuit/uptick

    Take two steps back, and survey the landscape. It's all the reality check you need. Then, factor in Chanos and the "Managed Fund Association" don't want any rule changes. They think everything is fine. I guess they won't be happy until America looks like Dresden circa 1944. No, I don't...

    Should the SEC put back uptick rule, circuit breakers, combination of circuit/uptick

    Perhaps. But for every Enron Chanos found, how many legit companies did he put out of business? And if he's so righteous, why did he email reporters and analysts and set up Fairfax? What if your neighbor thinks your an asshole? He might be right. But what if pulls out an automatic, and...

    Should the SEC put back uptick rule, circuit breakers, combination of circuit/uptick

    I think that's a "Chit Chat" topic. http://www.instantrimshot.com But seriously folks........ A "hard borrow" is, you locate and pay for you 1000 shares of xyz. No one else can borrow those shares. They are yours for the day. Even if you don't pull the trigger. They can be sold...

    Wont be long before the crash now.

    It is up in the air whether or not we get out of this. All we can do as traders is take advantage, legally please, of the volatility of what to come. The authorities 'get it'. Congress finally 'gets it'. All it took was their constituents to be out on their ass in the street, and they...

    SEC Attorneys Accused Of Insider Trading

    So, we were talking about SEC attorneys, how "everybody" is doing it. Wanna know for how long? Elgindy's hayday was in the 90's through the early 2000's. Investigatethesec.com has some of his "transcripts" from his pay to play trading room. He makes a call where he says short a particular...

    Hitler, up close and personal...

    Khalid Sheik Mohammad I've tried to forget, but it's like a hand on a hot burner. He also claimed he beheaded Daniel Pearl personally. But those vicious selfish bastards in Guantanomo waterboarded him three times. Such savagery.

    Grasshopper found dead...

    This was a big deal several years ago, and a number of teenagers tried this with the same result. As a veteran of adolescence, lonely nights on the road, isolated Army posts, I have some experience with the subject matter. But never have I ever said, "Man, that wasn't bad. But I think it...

    Finally, after I called for this for 2 years that pos Mozillo CHARGED

    You're looking at the action. You're not seeing the behind the scenes maneuvering. Why did he do it? Why did he think he could get away with? Why emails so obvious? Because it was the way business was done. Everyone knew they owned the regulators. So, what could go wrong? Linda...

    Brokers are scum.

    I'll play Alex. Ex Manager Scumbags who fucked everybody, including the brokers over for 500. http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/96-023.pdf You could probably write your book just from regulatory actions. Read this stuff, scratch your head and muse, "what the fuck could they have been thinking?"...

    Hurricane Insurance Is About to Absolutely Skyrocket

    And I don't talk about things I don't know about. In 90, I had a customer that was a retired Air Force General. We were talking about Hussein, and I opined he wouldn't be stupid enough to fight for Kuwait. The guy said, verbatim , "Oh, he'll fight alright." What I didn't know until...

    Green shoots: GM announces 20,000 job cuts

    I think it's 'bamboo shoots', and they shove them under your fingernails. People are still oblivious of the fact that when one guy loses a job, another 1 or 2 guys lose theirs'. Somebody said, 'don't you think the job market is bottoming? It's been 650,000 for several weeks in a row!!!!!"...

    Hurricane Insurance Is About to Absolutely Skyrocket

    I'm glad you're taking over from me as the doomsday soothsayer. Actually, my insurance agency fell asleep on the job. I got a new inspection that highlighted new doors, etc, and wentfrom 2200 to 900. Of course, in two years, it'll be 2200 again. I'm setting up a three legged stool and...
