    • We Don't Need Money But We'll Raise Some - Lehman [view article]
      My Question is why LEH had to sell 3 billion in stock at a high rate when they can goto the FED's and borrow from the discount window for 28 days over and over for 6 months and the Feds are talking about extending more time... It dont make sense.... and where there is smoke there is fire.... Apr 03 08:25 AM
    • Why Yesterday's Optimism Wasn't Warranted [view article]
      After reading all of the comments on EVERY site on Every Financial Co. Not one comment or article reflected a positive outlook. April 1, 2008 was a great day indeed. It carried a 400 point DOW move on the WORST news I have ever heard. UBS writing 19 billion off the books and having to Dilute the company with 15 billion stock sales..... and they SOAR 15%.... LEH did the same thing and MER moved up 12% on the news... The only way to look at that as a positive is it gave me a better place to enter a short position on all of the financials.... other than that, Ill just let Market gravity over come the small rallies.... Thank you all of you for your insight and thoughts and taking the time to comment. Apr 03 08:17 AM
    • Changing of the Short Uptick Rule: Bad Timing for a Bad Idea [view article]
      I agree that it increases volitility, but i think its a great thing.... you just got to have faith in your stock. Look at LEH... they shorted the stock to $20 bucks and two days later its trading at $49.00. If you had faith in your stock you are a lot better off. I think the rule removal is a great thing... It will slingshot the market up in a bull market because the true investors will SQUEEZE the shorts out. Just have faith...and if the company is a bad company that should be ou... the shorts will make that happen faster saving the average investor the mistake of ivesting in something it should not. Think about it... Bear Stearns is one of them.. now no one will make the mistake with Bear Stearns... there gone. and should be. Mar 21 10:25 AM
