But, but, communism collapsed when the Berlin Wall came down, and we got all glasnosty and perestroika'd, and the Russians are our friends! And the Chinese aren't really commies any more. And communism is such a 1950s McCarthyite term. Now it's just liberals and progressives building a utopia in the USA with no racism, no guns, high taxes, no guns, universal healthcare, no guns, etc.
/You got it! It's sarcasm.
Get Barrons and take your pick. The SEC was supposed to disclose the holdings of the hedge funds including short positions. AFAIK it has not happened yet. $50 billion in capital times a minimum of 10 x leverage. They have potentially $500 billion available if not more with Middle East money and possibly money from China.
Goldman, Bear, Lehman, Morgan foolishly were allowed to go from 10 to 1 to 20, 30 and 40 to 1.
The other things is is one knows another is doing it the gang jumps in. Most of it done at CBOE and CME in Chicago. Also the source of the trades and data. If you understand the data flow - you have a big edge.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m going to look into these links.
This has the clintons’ fingerprints all over it, right?
Would you call this a warning shot across obama Hussein’s bow?
BTTT!
Why do I get the feeling that if Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are running D.C., we could turn into a large Hugo Chavez dictatorship.
This is the weirdest election I have ever witnessed.
You & me both, Chickee...
That's $8,300 billion....
$500 billion is a lot of money....but not in the case of the markets.
My points to you have been the same...there are no hard facts that point to Soros.
And I don't think Soros could "manage" this type of "perfect storm".....
IMO, lot's of things have come together. I'm also of the opinion it's never as good as "they" say...or as "bad".
We shall see, what we shall see......
Yeah, I think there is something going on. The CNN news story on Ayers and now ABC. I think the Clintons have said Obama can’t be defeated unless the media starts to help.
It is going to be an interesting ride.
I am the author of the email referred to in Martin’s press release. I am not now, nor have I ever been employed by the Obama campaign. I am a private citizen. Mr. Martin has no credibility and he owes Senator Obama an apology. Gary Riggin
