  • Barclays Capital Predicts 2010 Market Corrections: My Thoughts [View article]
    (thmr) got screwed twice by JPM, first on margin call and then it bids on it's portfolio in the liquidation of assests. At least the BK judge will give us common shareholders a few crumbs. buy up thmrq for cheap garage sale price. big banks ate up thornburg assests and are pressing the stock down in order to limit it's obligation to shareholders. good inside stuff. f#@k jp

    Does this mean you don't smell a RAT? yeap

    Just a little sub-prime mess round two hitting right now it's a mess. This company's former ceo did a great disservice to it's shareholders, a solid company that invested into sub-primes will be the final nail in the coffin. I hate to admit it but cramer seems to be right on this call.

    This is my last post regarding E-trade.

    Tuesday at 5:00 pm. Reponse to all the nay-sayers:

    That move by the Fed. saved Thornburg from a hostile take over and pulled them from the ashes. Thornburgs own wealth is on the line and I'm sure he'll do what ever it takes to get this stock back where it belongs. I anticipate a few ungrades on hump day with the announcement of TMA metting their obligations. Good job Fed. keep it up!

    At the Time of the post $1.56

    Closed at $2.88
    After hours currently $ 2.93

    Now all you people stop with the panic selling!

    it's getting old, including you Daffy.

    Bwahahahahaha, 2cents down since I posted that. Come on people, get real and look at the value of this stock. I was playing Devil's advocate. Do you all see my point? Stop being such cry babies and hold on to this stock! The push down is just a test of loyalness. If you look at my post on TMA yesturday I predicted numerous up grades today and it came to fruition. Stay the course, daffy I was just spoofing your cal for ETFC to Hit $3.50.

    Btw: A bad report is being let out The sub-prime issue and dropping property values are going too hit hard. On Thursday right after the opening bell the crap report is being released. I would sell now if you are planning on going long.
    I cut off the arm to stop the bleeding.

    I remain,
    Shorter that I was three months ago.

    Sold all my Shares at total lost of 24.39%. I have to maintain my lifestyle.
    Sorry, that I did not hold on , but the bastards that pushed me out are the ultimate victors. I refuse to go back to Reagan-omics. The writing on the wall is there for the buy-out and I conceded to my stop that I placed several months ago. Good luck too all.

    I remain,
    Shorter that I was three months ago.

    Don't see it coming back into the 3.5 scale or the 3.7.

    One more thing: SEC investigator confirmed that they would monitor any allegation of price suppression. Good enough for me.

    February numbers should come out soon. This will be most indicative of the changes the company has made since we seen the change at the helm and a prelude to the buy-out. This will of course come in as an unsolicited bid. That's why we see the suppression of this stock. Every time we see an upward spike I notice a large block of sell shares popping and sitting for about 3 to 4 minutes and then pulled back, thus stopping the upward trend. I've been around awhile and it's becoming more blatant over time. It’s really starting to annoy me, especially when these knuckleheads come on hear spouting off on how terrible this stock is... if you ask me, most are paid too put the fear in stockholders and put out a desperate perception for any kind of buyout. Personally I as a shareholder am not impressed with the board throw a large amount of shares and options at the new CEO. I would have liked to see a more performance based contract, with goals and incentives attached. With corporate greed running rampant I think E-trade should have set the standard on all new CEO’s.
    My two cents.
