Steve Cohen Photo...

Quote from flytiger:

My point is, if money is your measuring stick, Hitler was a success. There is a little more to it than that. At least in my world. To step all over everybody to get it just doesn't cut it. Although it certainly was in vogue until the "change" candidates showed their faces last week.

Are you referring to the primaries? Even if one had a low opinion of politicians, it would be taking it too far to compare them with Steve A. Cohen. The issue is not just about “stepping all over people”. Trading is a zero sum game and so taking from others is a necessary part of things. But it is how Steve. A Cohen does it that has rankled the august ranks of Wall Street’s blood thirsty elites. When even a cock sucking ghoul will not say good things about you, then it is evident that you really are scum.

I think we're saying the same thing. We'll see how this plays out. Plenty of stuff going on, and the public gets rankled when things go bad. In good markets, they get a little bit, and are happy. Now, I see in the local Fl papers they are trying to hang subprime on the Florida guys running the funds. That'll work its way up the chain quickly, as they look for pockets.

2008 will be very, very interesting.

It will be interesting for many years to come. The problems in Florida are really the tip of the iceberg. But all that has nothing to do with Steve A. Cohen; the man is not the sort of force that could have created such a crisis.
 
One of the articles on Cohen states that he got his start at Gruntal, and mentions that he used to follow their block trades when he was trading. In his later interview with Schwager, he also said that everything he does has its roots in watching volume come into a stock in his early days as a teenager watching the tape at a brokerage office.

Does anyone have any comment on the use of block trades and volume?
 
Quote from runningman:

I've been thinking that about the art world for years. Someday someone is going to wake up and say---its a FREAKING picture. But they keep going up in value. Look at Rothko, basically 2 or 3 huge blotches of color and they go for millions.

Art is what rich people buy to convince themselves that life isn't meaningless.

I think he watched a stock and when green volume suddenly rose, that meants someon knew something, which meants jump on for some then probably fade away when deemed apprpriate. i could obviously be wrong
