Jet Blue: Analyst Enthusiasm Could Present Opportunity to Sell
I am still amazed on why so many have become obsess with the US’s financial demise.
Fear Not Yet a Factor
Firstly, they can take their liquidity and INVEST it for the building of our society, instead of trying to destroy it.
Secondly, who ask these people to be my financial guardian? Did I miss the election?
But in any case, it's not so much the shorting process, but really the GANG-SHORITNG of stocks. It has become far too easy for a couple of well funded shorts to water-board a stock to death. Torture in the name of transparency, is still torture.
Financials and Housing: The Outlook Remains Ugly
Have you ever thought maybe, just maybe that the constant water-boarding of our banks and other financials institutions has perpetuated a major part of this mess. If they treated prisoners at Guantanamo like you treat our financial system, people would be screaming bloody murder.
Ok, you were right BUT:
STOP IT ALREADY! ENOUGH! BASTA! NO MAS!
Ackman Scores Big on Longs Drug Stores
"As Ackman just started accumulating shares in late June and July in the $40 range, this is an amazing windfall for Ackman and may go down as one of the 'best trades ever.'"
then Ackman was amassing this overly quick future fortune just when CVS was hitting a new high at around $44+ and THEN quickly DRIFTING back to $37ish.
Yeah, SOMETHING DOES SMELL VERY FISHY HERE!!!
Ackman Scores Big on Longs Drug Stores
I wonder what that jerk will do now - invest in CVS? Doubtful. Something smells very fishy here!
The Emperor (Mr. Ackman) Has No Clothes
History will write that this man was a destructive force for our society, and his actions served no better purpose except then to further his own portfolio.
Financials Have Bottomed? Readers Say We're Nuts
This trader mentality and the need to show a short-term profit, both on the personal and corporate levels will be the death of us all. It promotes the short-seller and short-term gain’s scenarios that cause the volatility and do NOT add to societies greater good.
What is it building? What product is it making?
We all need to step back and see what we are trying to create here, or in the current case, what we are trying to destroy. The stock market was meant for building a business and therefore the American economy. It was become an extension of Vegas and needs to get back to its roots. I have a fix posted on my site under the 3/22 blog that most everyone will hate. You should check it out. In the meantime just think of the TV show ‘FastMoney’ as the poster child for poor trading behavior and just an example of the real reasons behind the current ills.
Short Selling: Others Want Protection Too
Selling the Short Sellers Short: Another Sign of Trouble
4. the gang-shorting by hedge funds. Even Cramer (whom I dislike) has been screaming for this measure.
Selling the Short Sellers Short: Another Sign of Trouble
Yes the shorts caused this financial meltdown and yes there are oil speculators that caused the rediculous run up.
1. reinstate the up-tick rule
2. Crack down on naked shorting for ALL stocks
3. BIG crackdown on what is said on National TV and in the press
A Long-Term, Structural Solution to the Banking Crisis
THEN, how about we institute a "WINDFALL PROFITS TAX" on those shorts who have outlandishly profited from the destruction of our banks, insurers, mortgage companies, and economy at large.
Oh yeah I know the arguement the shorts give:
"No..no..no! It ain't me babe! I ain't me you're looking for, babe!"
