Truly insightful.<BR/><BR/>I work for Wikinvest and am contacting top bloggers about our pre-launch Wikinvest Wire (http://www.wikinvest.com/blogger/Wikinvest_wire), which will help widely distribute your content to other sites as well as provide other relevant links to your own posts.<BR/><BR/>We would love to have you on board for our launch. Let me know if you're interested in hearing more by emailing me at patrick@wikinvest.com, and I can<BR/>get you started.<BR/><BR/>And again, great work on the blog!pcushinghttp://technorati.com/people/technorati/pcushingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-81278244924955174572008-09-10T15:51:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:51:00.000-04:00Oh it matters<BR/>you just have to get the PPT to buy futures all day to drive the market up when it looks tenuous.<BR/><BR/>Look for another round of panic soon enough<BR/><BR/>and I agree with you on AIG<BR/><BR/>I would not read too much in any 1 day reaction to anything. There are so many cross currents and "invisible hands" working we never know what is going on.<BR/><BR/>What is funny is WaMu is not even on the FDIC troubled bank list - neither was IndyMac in the quarter before it went belly up. You can only imagine how many troubled banks are not on that list.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-42763736604807581202008-09-10T15:47:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:47:00.000-04:00Just don't think WM matters any more. They don't have the same market risk as a LEH. AIG might be the next best short. They seem to have alot of toxic stuff hiding.Stonefoxcapitalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00583540825602471042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-33973957018595259522008-09-10T13:12:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:12:00.000-04:00Hi, I'm here from the PPT and I've come to help.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-71960649701870882032008-09-10T12:54:00.000-04:002008-09-10T12:54:00.000-04:00Interesting to see WM avoiding the big headlines on the financial sites. Down 25% and almost no mention on the first screen of Smart Money, CNBC or Market Watch.<BR/><BR/>So what if the largest S&amp;L in the country plunges 25% in a day and approaches delisting territory. Happens all the time.ianmudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01429959868918863661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-64401132570624487242008-09-10T12:29:00.000-04:002008-09-10T12:29:00.000-04:00Yes, that is why I did not lighten up yet on that group<BR/><BR/>This is simply not a market for investors<BR/><BR/>if you are trading in and out every day, its good to buy and get out<BR/>I bougth some MEE yesterday at 3:55 PM for myself<BR/><BR/>and I'll be lightening at some point soon<BR/><BR/>but thats not viable for a mutual fund to trade like thatTraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-32159913553193071322008-09-10T12:25:00.000-04:002008-09-10T12:25:00.000-04:00Hey Mark,<BR/>Big volumn on ACI call option.. looks like ACI got oversoldOahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10424050777432171060noreply@blogger.com
