Re: Financial topics

It is doubtful that exchanges would be shut down while unwindind MF Global mess. Although MF was a significant player, it by no means was large compared to Lehman or AIG.

Re: Financial topics

I'm with you, Higgenbothem. I'd been short ES on the way up (great pain), got out at on this drop at an average of 1211, and have just went short on this morning's run up at an ave of 1249.50, Now 100% short.

Second, there is more debt denominated in dollars than is available in the money supply. Next, no other currency is viable to mo...

For people who follow Elliot Wave Theory, for which there can be a myriad of counts, a poster who believes the top is in:

March 9, 2009 - October 11, 2007 = 515 calendar days, A down
July 25, 2011 + 515 calendar days = December 21, 2012 ... C down?

Got to hand it to those Mayans ...
