Good article. We were always told, when I was in the business, you couldn't mention these failsafes or sell using them. But this will make some of you feel better. It'll be a mess, but you'll be ok as policyholders: Insuring the insurers States' back-up plans protect life, auto...

Won't matter what you want or what is right. Like I've said, the greed and viciousness of the Street will kick back at them, and we'll go way to far the other way. That's why we were trying to stop this before it got nuts. Sick part is, while they were beating my brains out, that was ok...

How about some of you guys that fought us tooth and nail, that now have friends unemployed, that have been hurt help out? Sp;eak up. It's how you make your livings. Do you stand by and let yourself be hosed like a new inmate on Riker's Iland. Anybody that lost money in UAUA, PM me. We need...

If that guy gets elected, it'll set this country back fifty years. If you met him in a bar, would you buy him a drink? He's the elitist asshole who shoves to the frong of the line while 100 people patiently wait their turn. ANybody can figure that out. If they want to. If they don't...

Yup. Algorithms picked up accounting investigations. It's a target. Now, if the short restrictions come out, be careful. But I think you're right on. We didn't make the rules, so cha ching!

You all should be outraged. This was supposed to happen last Thursday or Friday, and they shit the bed for the upmteenth time. Now, they come out with this. I have no sympathy for the institutions. Left to their own devices, these people who you see in tee shirts and baseball caps emptying...

Flick on CNBC on Direct TV, and the Header on the top of the screen says: "Deal or NO Deal" How prophetic!

you aren't seeing the big problem. Capitulations don't happen when the Fed forces BAC to buy Merrill. It happens with blood in the Streets. These guys shit the bed and wouldn't help Lehman. They are still arrogant. they have to get on their knees. We've got a long way to go. Spikes...

http://www.nysun.com/business/city-bracing-for-lehmans-demise/85736/ Financials won't mean much, but this sun article mentions SLG and Lehman's effect on downtown. Anybody else find any?

Not for a while. AIG is meeting with Private Equity and DiNallo. I'd bet , though, it gets done in single digit. As a matter of fact, I will bet that happens. Oops. CNBC just reported they are gong to the Fed.

Say what you want. The Merrill Board did a great job getting Thain, and Thain pulled off a coup. Fuld is the anti Thain. What a bizarre turn of events. Those guys w/deferred comp at Mother Merrill just dodged a bullet. CNBC says Fed forced Thains' hand.

This will cool the heels of some shorts. I took everything off Friday, thinking something stupid could happen. How do you come up with 29 unless Hank was pitching favors. Do you realize it was 6 months ago tonight Bear went down? They'll start coming quicker now.

In my World, what I just saw was the cheezy nature of the heads of Wall St. playing chicken and letting Lehman fail. Now, how do you make money without getting killed. AIG, tough. Took a lot out of it last week. Now the Govt stepped in. C, no news, so they are ripe if they open flat for a...

Never take joy in someone else's suffering, unless , of course it's the hedgefund assholes and the heads of these legalized whore houses. There are 29,000 employees, many of whom operate back office systems, answer phones, run computers, on and on. All their deferred comp is wiped out...

So, let's see. While we're helping offshore entities destroy American Capitalism while raking in the fees, that 's good............ now: New Push to Reduce Short Selling By LOUISE STORY In May, David Einhorn, one of the most vocal short-sellers on Wall Street, made no secret he was...

Just thinking, the 30:1. They were all capitalized, it seemed, at around 33 : 1, with 30 to 35 Billion in capital. But I remember UBS bringing 90 billion back on the balance sheet. I remember because the employees were shocked, and they all called lawyers - their deferred comp was at risk...

I suggest you reference the "armeggedon' quote in the article. This is all air. There is nothing left. Remember when this started? The most any firm had was 34billion in capital. That was two raises ago. The stock prices reflect it. Everybody who bought the deals is totally underwater...

:D

You're making a mistake I've made at one point in my life. You still believe adults are in charge. Yeah. Everything is in play. Anything is possible. The system could collapse Monday. Maybe Tuesday. Maybe a month from Tuesday. How many people outside of us have any idea this is...
