The fact that es hasn't rallied a tick on this buyout is scary. Course with LEH floating in the wind you would have to be crazy not to be flat or hedged into the weekend. next short maybe at 1220.
If this event occurs you will see the mother of all rallies. I was tempted to go long some index calls as we will likely see some resolution by monday. I would never bet against Tim Geitner. I don't understand where you are getting your share price from. I am guessing $10.00 is generous (this is...
