Quote from FuturesTrader71:
Well, if they said that they are going to sell the position out, wouldn't you want to get short in front of/before them. He almost has to say that they don't plan to sell.
I wonder if she gets a promotion if they actually make money.

May get a promotion perhaps;
depends on underlying sector, if much of that was in the Taiwan-US semisector may not be much profit on longs at all.
Perhaps management has a good reason to not program thier computer with the correct buying power??????????????
And dont think there is a Asian correlation, but i told that lady that cut my hair did you see that world record catfish, they caught in Thailand?????
Believe it or not,646 pounds.
back on topic, it happens even at my bank that the trader inputs a deal that is out by a factor of ten or does it the wrong way round. the traders are constantly taking orders and keying them in. they do close to a thousand orders a day. there are going to be mistakes with so many orders.
=======================
Its now been about 20 days or 3 weeks since the incident;
and even though the semisector looks very extended,
SPY & housing /others look like quite a strong uptrend.
Wonder if that female trader is as good with counter trends;
reguardless of that;
like a 646 pound Asian record catfish makes some notable waves,
have seen evidence of long trend followers jump in also.
LOL wow. Not quite the right year but...
