It happened in June and no one jumped out of the window... Why now? Let the S&P retest the lows of August at 980 and then we'll see...

Ten Reasons for an Imminent Stock Market Crash

Sorry to bother you... I've been up all week waiting for this IMMINENT market crash... all I've seen is some healthy profit-taking... would you be able to give me a call when this IMMINENT market crash actually happens?... Thanks a lot

A shareholder meeting on the future of troubled Fortis (FORSY.PK) descends into chaos, with investors tossing shoes at its chairman and demanding his resignation. "When I bought them, they were at €25 per share. Today they are about one euro," one distressed shareholder said.

Shoes? I thought they were throwing horseshoes and nails... dunno.

"Commercial-size jet seen flying low over Hudson River was part of scheduled test, World Financial Center security says." (WSJ) Maybe someone should have told New York City?

Pilot was flying like a 'pig', so they sent the fighter-jet just in case...

Pullback on Monday?

YAWNNNN!

Well... now we know what it was that we didn't know... if you know what I mean.

While Fiat's CEO is in the U.S. talking deals with Chrysler, three Fiat managers have just been taken hostage in Brussels by union workers with whom they were negotiating job cuts, CNBC reports.

Oh dear... are they going to send the Ferrari SWAT team now?

i have no idea what the debate is about, Joshua...

i think you started with the poor move on sun's part in the face of reality, which is a good point... the more tech-savvy amongst us frowned at your tech 'inaccuracies' (missing the point altogether)

my question is: they passed on a deal that really seemed a little too good to be true (what was IBM thinkin?)... why? do they know something we don't?

i'd love to spend more time speculating, but unfortunately i gotta trade... ;-)

You can certainly download for free; the enterprise licences will cost you money though...

hmm... right... I can see you got your facts right:

How about:
1) Solaris OS
2) MySQL
3) SUN Sparc and all of the other enterprise servers
4) All sorts of networking hardware...

... on second thoughts why dont you just go the SUN website and have a quick look at what these guys do?

I make a 'substantial' amount of money every day trading equities solely based on technical analysis... sometimes I don't even know what company the stock I'm trading belongs to.

"One does not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that we are not even close to a bottom"

Really? Based on what: your fundamental 'insight'?
