O'Reilly blaming Dubai Hedge Funds

Quote from flytiger:

The politicians got in bed with Wall St. who got in bed with a plethera of nefarious characters, from the Russian mob, to terrorist fund raisers, to simple off shore hedge funds laundering money for same. (All documentable, btw). Like the good kid (stretch there, but bear with me) running with the bad crowd, events get out of hand.

This rings true. For example, the Taliban had virtually eliminated poppy cultivation in Afghanistan in early 2001, now it is back to record levels. It is doubtful that it was a coincidence.
 
The sh*t hit the fan. Nothing more.

There's always a desire and a need to assign motives, maybe to help oneself politically,as in (they are evil, we are good; be on our side), sometimes just because it makes one feel better about oneself. As in (it's not my fault, someone did this to me).
 
"There doesn’t seem to be any reason for this increase in margin. The most benign one is that the banks became overly worried that their prime brokerage customers could cause problems with leverage. A more sinister reason revolves around the fact that the banks issuing the calls will likely wind up the owners of some excellent inventory (relatively illiquid preferreds, bonds, etc., which are being sold at prices well below theoretical value). They are in effect confiscating from their prime brokerage customers."

Judging from the timing, maybe they want to help Obama get elected.

Or rather get their money out before Obama gets elected.
I doubt that Reich et al. would/will advocate or allow the same kind of blank check looting of the treasury that Paulson has.

It's the ultimate form of capitalism, stealing from your own Country ... a form of cannilbalism, actually.

Talk about a paranoid idiot...


O'reilly blames Dubai Hedge Fund Managers sitting in front of Computer terminals ruthlessly raping our markets.



He's a cunt.

Like most republicans, he lacks any ability for cognitive reasoning.

All these cunts are in "Blame anyone but bush" mode.

.........another confirm last night from a Dallas Republican leader, one with ties to G Dubbya. Funny, how what we picked up three weeks ago is now out and about in the in crowd.

Now, if someone hear were to do some critical thinking, which I know is a stretch, how would the government talk about something this serious? Why, they might 'leak' it, so not to panic the populace. And who would they leak it to? Why, Democrats? Who, if they said anything at all, would run people to McCain. No. They'd leak it to Republicans. Especially Rock solid, close to God, stand up Republicans.

Use your heads.

Economic terrorism? Pure bullshit.

If/when the market loses 90% of its value, the government is going to blame "economic terrorists" for it. Of course, their solution to the problem will be more regulation, RFID chips, and a global currency.
 
1) Hedge fund scum don't deserve extreme margin. They barely deserve to be allowed to trade for full cash.

2) What happened to this big rumor that today was a huge margin call day? did the boys cancel that and decide to allow 100-1 margin instead?
