Don't forget TIF came in above estimates. TIF came in above estimates probably through weak dollar effect on 40% revenues from overseas. Actually a big decline in earnings but it 'beat estimates' if you treat a normal inventory writedown as an extraordinary. Yeah right. Also their higher...

Greenspan is 81 years old fer chrissakes and is the idiot who facilitated all this. It seems there were things the fool did not understand, obviously. Are there any Presidential candidates of stature, or even with a brain?

Deal contract has clause in which JPM could be responsible for BSC liabilities even if the deal falls apart. http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/24/bears-big-guarantee/#more-21910 Looks like the Fed may have a problem on its hands. Couldn't happen to a nicer fairer minded bunch of...

Fed should also make good any shorts who lost money shorting in what they had been told was a fee market. Clear misreresentation - maybe investors would be better off investing in Banana Republics run by despots who crack down on short selling, for that matter any selling, and currency...

I've got a rusty old kids bike at the back of the garage somewhere, do you think I could sell it to the Fed? Paulson's look says it all, "vat a schlemiel, vat a pisher"

I agree the rate cuts are supporting the market in the short term through psychology and manipulation thereof with propaganda, but on a 1-2 years timeframe I don't believe they can.

Risk:Reward dynamics of shorting stock are appalling. Despite potential for thousandfold gains vs 100% for short stock, dynamics of using puts is probably actually mathematically worse i.e. limited gain until in the money, plus you lose 100% if it expires worthless BUT, I find options block off...

Get up early. Live well. Be productive.

If Fed cuts could support the market they would have done so in 2000-2 when you had very narrow breadth of stocks with High P/E's and a concept i.e. as the theoretical valuation was all there was, cutting rates should have helped then if they ever could. The market recovered long enough for...

From WSJ. Points out that sustained rally from financials unlikely as most of their revenue streams have been adversely affected. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120631472377158165.html?mod=hpp_asia_whats_news I regard this as a valid point but not sure the financials are the best shorts...

Agree. The general feeling outside of investment banking circles is that bankers who caused the problem should use the billions in bonuses they were paid to prop up their banks/the market before tax payers money is used. If Ruben thinks support is such a good idea I suggest he uses his own...

Answers interjecte above with @. Honestly, I really don't believe that you actually have any money on the line. Granted, there may well be a ST suckers rally as the propaganda machine is saying the problem is over* and the vacum is above with some people still bidding so in the absence of bad...

The only constant is change. The Buddha

They only have a few left. May as well get them out of the way so that we can be on our way.

When insiders are selling significant stakes and they clearly don't care what people think is about the only time any clear conclusion can we drawn. As for buying, could be buy 1 onshore sell 5 offshore. I am actually surpised that S&P, a propaganda arm of Wall St actually did this, I mean if...

Very true it might take 5 years to get your money back on an exchange traded product. As for OTC contracts.......................... I see this as a once in a decade chance to win (or lose) big but NO leverage - long options or cash equities. What I have in options is pure risk capital and...
