I freely admit I am completely ignorant of what after-hours trading means unless it is that you lost my investments in a poker game....

” The loss came in a portfolio of the complex financial instruments known as derivatives, and in a division of JPMorgan designed to help control its exposure to risk..”

LOL!!

Never before has Wall Street been so able to do whatever they want, with no one paying attention.

For Wall Street, there is no risk. They know that taxpayers will be made to bail them out.

JPM can borrow for 0% the money that we borrowed at 2-3 percent. Then they can loan it back to us for another 2-3 %.

With a game like that then what do they have to worry about.

if government is willing to loan you a billion dollars at 0% interest rate, would you take it? I take as many billions as they’re willing to give me, because however the loan turn out I end up the winner

My understanding is that they lost 2 billion in just 6 weeks.

Who is minding the store there?

Is obama about to “find” a whole new pile of cash in their reelection fund?

Don’t forget, all the bucks from MF Global still havent been found and no one has been held accountable.
