Equity shareholders are the last in line. People seem to forget this most important fact. As to the way the stock is trading . . . Hope springs Eternal! :D

I disagree. What I find incredibly "bizarre" is you and your buddies who post here incessantly ranting and raving about the FED as if anyone gives a rat's a$$. Why do you feel that you are such an "expert" on the Fed and the Economy when it was you who asked last week if the FED could put...

That's easy for you to say AFTER THE FACT. Where was Goldman, where was UBS, where was Morgan Stanley, BofA, or anyone else for that matter last Thursday night? Seems like JPM was the only entity capable of stepping up to the plate last week. They were one of the only firms out there with a...

If you are a TRADER and you react accordingly, who cares whether the FED cuts 25, 50, or 100 basis points? LEH ran from 31.89 this morning to over $44.00 today. That's a 40% move in one day! There are plenty of opportunities EVERY DAY in this market . . . why sit around like a "Deer...

I'm sorry, but if you are asking such a question you might wish to put your money in a mutual fund or something. Welcome to ET. :)

What does it matter to a TRADER? If one is always "biased" in their belief system, how are they able to CLEARLY OBSERVE what is happening and able to react in a successful manner, in the first place?

To me ( as a Trader ) it means that the market is a "buy" whenever it looks like it is about to go to ZERO because the sentiment gets so "thick" that you can cut it with a knife. In fact, you can literally fade the "World is Coming to An End" crowd here on ET and have your TV tuned into CNBC...

Thanks! Between my days with Victor Sperandeo and PTJ, I learned that "motto" and one more . . . "What is obvious, is obviously WRONG!" Best of Luck! :cool:

66 Million shares of Lehman and it's only 11AM!!! :cool:

You're only 47 points from getting to that "magical" 6,000 POST MARK. Are you going to get there by 2:15 PM? :D

You obviously weren't around back in 1982 when the FED "eased" 11 STRAIGHT MONTHS IN A ROW. I was.

This is a very simple "motto" of mine that I learned from my early days at Tudor Investment. It makes a lot of sense! Unfortunately, there are people on here ( most of whom that don't even trade on a daily basis ) and they cannot even begin to APPRECIATE these most signifcant words.

Wrong Question by the OP. HOW ABOUT HOW HIGH CAN IT GO TODAY??? $43.60 as we speak! I LOVE THIS FREAKING GAME!!! :p

The FED has many "tools" at its disposal to support the Economy besides cutting rates and adding liquidity to the banking system. Believe it or not, they also are able to use such "unconventional" means as ACTUALLY PURCHASING GOODS AND SERVICES IN THE ECONOMY. This "mandate" was once...

And how does continually chanting this "fight" song of yours help you TRADE? :confused:

Amazing. Now after all of this time you have finally understood how to TRADE this market atmosphere, rather than constantly questioning what the FED has been doing, blah, blah, blah. Many of us have been buying the market whenever it gets pushed down to "horrible" looking levels, and...

"Thus it is the client's capital that stands in 'first position' against trading losses or gains and the company levers its balance sheet to maintain regulatory capital to collateralize these positions and extend margin," Casteleyn said in a client note.

Will he BREAK THE 6,000 POST MARK TODAY.... That is the question! Any bets? :)

Gonna break 6000 posts today? How much does Baron pay you per post? C'mon . . . You can tell us! :D

The Company announced today that they have hired healthcare investment banker LEERINK SWANN to explore "strategic" options . . . In other words, this company and its 37 patents on stool-DNA colorectal cancer screening is now in PLAY. Hello Roche? Abbott Labs? Genetech? :D
