Forgot to ...Thanks for the flurry of activity men. Forgot to mention Thain's <BR/>$25K tables! Guess he doesn't shop on Craigslist or overstock.com. Why we seem to be stuck near 8K I don't know. You'd think electronic trades would be reset to hedge against total banking collapse, but then again, if any of these guys had read the black swan we wouldn't be here in the first place....AXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884523657411376448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-90434486365406407022009-01-24T10:05:00.000-08:002009-01-24T10:05:00.000-08:00Gentlemen...After doling millions more in bonuses ...Gentlemen...<BR/>After doling millions more in bonuses to ML executives once the BAC merger was almost complete, John Thain was finally fired. More than likely Ken Lewis was jealous that there was a bigger crook on Wall Street than himself. Maybe Lewis should have kept Thain around long enough to redecorate the office!!!<BR/><BR/>If Obama's Administration was interested in setting a new tone, TARP executives would have to repay any and all monies to the U.S. taxpayer... And that DC North is not crazy talk!!!<BR/><BR/>WE tend to think of these situations as middle class people... The "big wheels" on Wall Street see the world completely different... It's more like, what can we salvage from this sinking ship? Look at the way the market is currently being manipulated if you need further evidence!!!<BR/>TC<BR/>http://www.bloggingstocks.com/tag/John+Thain/https://www.blogger.com/profile/04129109858371805563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-41128669095709892422009-01-24T07:16:00.000-08:002009-01-24T07:16:00.000-08:00Punished for their crimes? That's crazy talk Coac...Punished for their crimes? That's crazy talk Coach! However, if I go into a bank and rob it for 1/1,000,000 what these jokers have lost I'm the one who goes to jail. What? No house arrest for me in my 720 sq. ft. 11th floor condo?...haha. <BR/><BR/>As for news to tip the market, it seems that everyone has their earmuffs on and just ignore everything. 8000 seems to be the line in the sand. Personally, I think the mentality of the investor now is "it can't get any worse". <BR/><BR/>Regards,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-18511434691517706522009-01-23T17:25:00.000-08:002009-01-23T17:25:00.000-08:00Ax...

Notice, prosecutions except for the Bear Sterns clowns, are almost non-existent... White collar crime could well be the down fall of Wall Street... no one is EVER taken to task!!! <BR/><BR/>Maybe WSM had more legs huh??? <BR/><BR/>What news will it take to tip the market???https://www.blogger.com/profile/04129109858371805563noreply@blogger.com
