    care to scan it and post it?

    seriously, this information isn't so easy to find. i spent 15 minutes goog-ing and chasing links to no avail for the sgxnk (N225 in Singapore).

    seriously, it would be appreciated!

  2. Here is what gov. needs to do:

    1 Insure all cash deposits at banks, money market funds, and brokerages. That will stop the silent run on the banking system.

    2 Treasury needs to eliminate counterpart risk by acting as middleman in bank to bank transactions.

    3 If number 1&2 fail then Treasury needs to bid 5 million contracts in ES. If the bid is hit then take those contracts out of circulation as Spec. mentioned. Treasury needs to engineer shock and awe rallies.

  4. Isn't it pretty obvious by now gov't intervention doesn't work? An enginnered rally? LOL! Oh yeah, great idea:(

    If they just let it crash tomorrow they won't have to do anything. Hell, I've been a seller for so long I'm not sure the "B" button on my pc still works, but I'm a buyer tomorrow on some serious panic selling. Like crash panic, not some -400 bullshit.

    i agree except i think a version of #3 needs to be done in concert. as for the exact timing... preferably a couple minutes after i buy 30 or 40 ES- after today, i'd need the gain just to get back near even.
