    Commodity selloff due to margin calls

    I am extrapolating that those that have been reported will not be the only ones - I suspect they will be the tip of an iceberg (as in big freeze) to come. Don't forget that many of the USD1b plus hedge funds are MULTI strategy so have slime exposure. They are multi strategy because teh IPO...

    Another Wall Street "bank" must be in trouble

    He maybe took the job because it allowed him to sell his GS stock tax free. Unfortunately being a brain dead footballer he did not realise that maybe everyone else would rather pay the tax than take the job. I mean really, he was CEO of GS when it was packaging this slime and he took the...

    Commodity selloff due to margin calls

    Hedge funds have frozen withdrawals so that will stave off some selling from them. Edit: More accurately some Hedgefunds have frozen withdrawals over the last few months. Too bad if you had your money in one, at least with index funds you get the same performance, don't have to pay 2/20...

    The PPT should just engineer a market crash to let a bottom settle in

    It's about preventing the system from collapsing and preventing insolvent banks from being required to declare insolvency - the two are linked, although there are other reasons why bank insolvencies and thus loss of control of the banking system are being prevented. Equities are a...

    The PPT should just engineer a market crash to let a bottom settle in

    All this propaganda and market support will ultimately do people's 401k's more harm than good. All they are doing is lulling the Public back into a false sense of security so that insead of getting their money out they are keeping it in for the day when the PPT can't hold it. They will...

    Market bottom is in- End this doom and gloom

    Oh right moving averages. I am not sure of the technical precedents for technical signals arising from 75BP cuts Fed will support it for long enough for a certain group to spread the word between each other (only) that you need to get your funds out ASAP (takes time) . You are too much...

    Market bottom is in- End this doom and gloom

    "empirical data shows S&P is going to 1400 and beyond" perhaps you could highlight precisely which data and the basis for your assertion of an empirical link between this data and an index level. Thank you.

    The Fed risks doing too much

    There was a time when if snakeoil salesman came to town you just formed a possie and hunted them down. Tarring and feathering for minor swindles. I don't really understand why the whole world is being held to ransom by one private corporation - if it was not so accepted the Fed could be an...

    They should give it back to the heirs of the people they confiscated it from in the 1930's.

    Market bottom is in- End this doom and gloom

    Fed curtting 75BP might have been a factor in that, as it was last time. Naturally capped on the upside, artificially supported on the downside.

    Market bottom is in- End this doom and gloom

    In the timeframe you are talking about I wouldn't argue with that. There are market supply demand dynamics that virtually ensure a snapback. Beyond the day timeframe if you watch the news flow it is clear it it moves from "end of world nigh" (buy) to "we are saved" (short) and back again...
