They will announce that they are a bunch of Wall St Poodles headed by an academic who hides behind his idiot Professor's beard when anybody mentions 'inflation'.

If Bernanke had really done his job he would not even have cut the discount rate, he would have told the Wall St banks that money was available for those that needed it, but at a penalty rate, not at rates that would allow a fat margin. If he/Fed are not going to do their job then why have them...

Is Bernanke named, or would it be too obvious this close to his wrong footing tactics?

Greensenile makes all these negative remarks about how bad things are now but somehow seems to forget on whose watch the problems started. Perhaps he feels he has to give his dinner guests their $100,000 worth. There should be a law about ex Fed Chairmen shooting their mouths off, even those...

If Fed cuts it will be perceived as positive because a rate cut is positive, right? If they don't cut it will be interpreted as the economy being so strong that there is no need for a cut. Housing etc all in the past.

Seems Joe Ross's stuff only appeals to newbies - it always seems that the people who come in on a Joe Ross thread to say how good he is only have a few posts to their name...............................That's just coincidence right, I mean it can't be a vendor shilliing his own stuff via...

Was expecting you to say you couldn't disclose that coz your positions are known to be so large that the whole market would gang up on you to try and take out your stops :)

Yeah you really called it - what did you short at what level, or was it just a mental entry on Yahoo charts?

Can you imagine what the problem would be like if it was not "contained"? Bernanke and Paulson should be fired for misleading the public/GROSS incompetence if this turns out not to be "contained" after all (silly doomsday scenario, I know)

Agree, I'm holding back on increasing the shorts at least until the next Fed/Paulson spasm. Just keep reminding myself there will be more than enough downside to justify staying sidelined until both a clear downtrend and the Fed can't jack the markets back up with a cut.

The Fed is so slimy that he will probably do the opposite of what a reasonable person would conclude from remarks prior [to the cut].

I agree he is inheriting Greenspans criminally negligent mess. BUT, he had a year in which (granted non bank) financial companies were in their second year of devising ever more exotic mortgages to bring increasingly marginal consumers into the market to keep the bubble going. Seems he was...

We could have a game of 'spot the sheep who buys the propaganda' without leaving this thread.

He will be remembered as the bent Fed chairman who colluded with Wall St to rig the markets.

decision in light of certain order flow activity and the exchange’s objective to preserve market quality Translation: A Chinese syndicate is ramping it.

When are post August hedge fund redemptions due - last 60 day notice period was for pre August (right?). Point is if there is a wall of redemptions hitting a load of ponzi schemes then something has to give. Not only did e.g. BSC funds assign their own accounting based valuations i.e. with no...

Chinese Govt is the wild card. Now that they have found that they can talk markets up or down they seem to be making the most of it.

Stocks are not irritating like futures. If a stock is going up it goes up, it doesn't necessarily feel the need to change its mind three times before it finally continues in the indicated direction.

Is there a (preferably free) service that lists companies or directors with company name whose directors/entire board have been pushed out by someone acquiring a controlling block of shares (including for OTC stocks) - SEC data may be Ok but if there is some other source that would be of...

Asian developing country regulators are a major source of losses. They just do something for often no better than nationalistic reasons and to hell wiyth the consequences, including those for their own domestic investors. Other examples, Thailand's 30% witholding rule, Malaysia currency etc.
