in my entire life of visiting trading floors I've never met a trader that looks like this guy. like Tom Cruis said, the world is a big stage. how creative. people, the monday dump was just a 30 yr old pullin our knees. there is no recession. I guess it works out alot cheaper to save the world economy this way than to spend trillions on monetary/fiscal measures huh.. our world is ruled very well indeed.
i want my 40 acres and a mule, that's what i want what? cant have it because i'm white? that's RACIST, I'm suing!
I believe it to be a quote taken from Shakespeare. But a good one "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." 8s
I hope SOCGEN goes out of business and they string up the execs like they did in the US for Enron. The world market cap got taken down at least a trillion dollars cause of one moron... GJ. What are the odds in Vegas he winds up dead ?
You are right,while there is always cost-prohibitive,and no one would actually do this.It is not important. Taking some announcements or actions might improve something,better than nothing.
Just one question....can Ben take his 75 points back? I've seen all these smiling analysts say "cut, cut, CUT!" on TV recently (before the cut on Tuesday). They all said "if the Fed overdoes, they can just crank rates back up." So, with our wonderfully resilient and robust economy, why don't we just tack that 0.75 back on? Gosh, it was all a mistake to begin with....
for once,i`m in full agreement with batman....anyone whom believes a single iota of this is as naive as the average joe on the street......this thing stinks to hi hell...& it will never be investigated nor will the orchestrated bullshit story ever be exposed.....by next week,it`ll be ancient history & seen as a good thing because we recieves a .75 cut from it....what a joke.
That´s a very good point. Clearing Houses would investigate immediately and would have also to report that huge single counter party positions....
thanks guys for your kind answers and thank you societe generale for what has a been one of my greatest trading weeks in the last 13 years
