This is making me sick
I understand that the whole financial sector and all the subprime fallout is hurting the economy, but pulling down the whole market is just plain chaos & utterly embarrassing. This is for the People at Wall St. " Why don't you guys Stand Up for once, I understand that the whole Dot.com bubble has traumatized you people and you figure there's somewhat a similarity here, But stop for a moment analyze the situation & then react. don't just go freekin nuts cause you have the power to do so. Remember the Country's Economy is in your hands. And what ever happened to Honor and standing by your choices." You must Sign in before you can post messages.

(a) hedge funds facing redemptions sell anything and everything in their portfolios in order to raise cash, and (b) "quantitative" hedge funds, which are about equally long and short, close their positions to reduce leverage or pay redemptions or avoid margin calls, which means they sell good companies (closing their long positions) and buy bad companies (covering their shorts) I hope this explains the counterintuitive price action. As for the rest: Wall St insiders are hardly honorable, having created The little guys can either get out of the way, or understanding what I personally regard this much volatility as a gift, it is a tough You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Street has taken a lot of people's hard earned dough. Bankcrupted
companies didn't reveal a thing until they announced the chapter 11 or outright bankcruptcy. I wonder why didnt SEC chairman Cocks, who was a house of rep from California, do a thing before harming the little guys. Are there rules that supposed to protect the investing public? Why didn't companies (all CDOs related firms) come clean like european companies telling public how much they have asset written down? Nothing is better than a vote of confidence. Now we all are in the dark. As long as the CDO markets remain illiquid, investing public around the world won't go long. No one knows when will the next bombshells to come. What a financial terror Street has created and exported to the world. This stock has limited upside due to unknown and the downside is measured by anything negative including chapter ll.

either gripe or you can treat it like an investment opportunity the likes of which come less than once a decade ;) just make sure you don't panic when the inevitable short squeezes You must Sign in before you can post messages.
