the best part of this story- Analysts said SocGen's unwinding of the massive rogue positions on Monday would have contributed to the violent slump in share prices and may therefore have played a part in the shock decision by the US Federal Reserve to slash American interest rates. "There's a very strong link between the equity futures market and the cash equities market," said one equity strategist at a major bank. "It may have influenced Fed thinking." This is like reading a fiction novel, classic shit!! Uncle cracker lowers rates not knowing what was happening in Europe. What a douchebag!!
think about this guy next time you are in a losing position.... wow...this guy must have lost 50 pounds and not had one nights rests during this excruciating ordeal...wow...and now he is going to jail...at 140k a year i would have just rather got fired to be honest...peace
It completely astonishes the mind when you think that Uncle Ben could have made that decision based on this kinda of incident. Honestly, I consider myself rather intelligent, but I do not possess the brain power to contemplate what this could mean. I guess this shuts up the Euro Zone pollies who were saying "This is all the US's fault. It's their problem, they should offer a solution." Hahah....right after they got done saying that, they're forced to eat crow.
Well, now we know why they didn't want to lower rates over there, they knew it was a problem of a single institution being worked through. There goes the chance of another rate cut on Wednesday in my opinion.
