    the small investor is at a disadvantage to incidents such as UAUA false bankruptcy story.

    but the source of the story has damaged UAUA and should be litigated out of existence. "i am sorry" just does not cut it.

    Naked short selling should be halted regardless of whatever it takes. It allow institutions to gamble without buying the chips and should not only be illegal, but a felony. You MUST pay to play!!! Reply

    Too connected! Too close! Any information, wrong or correct,but out of date is communicated in real time and acted upon without review or consideration. This shoot-from-the-hip mentality has its dangers, not the least of which is error, emotion, and intentional manipulation of the market. It is another indication that man-machine interface is critical and when lacking become its own threat to any system which has no limits to its variances. It will eat us alive in Wall Street one day, but we only noticed it in weapons controls, and in flight controls. But it is here everywhere and we should fear its consequences. Reply

    Right, I've also had some wild limit orders go through. Sometimes they dont even show up in the chart. Friday I had a limit order for MER @ 14.77. Sadly, it did not go through.

    As for the google thing, I am looking for a screenshot of google's cache for that article they say "had never come across the item before". I bet it was in google's cache, and I bet someone has it.

    And as for Income Security Advisors, they need to fire that moron who thought UAL went bankrupt this year. Something like this could bring the whole market down. Especially during times like these.

    I would not be surprised if someone at google was buying PUTs on UAL...

    this is just wrong.

    Felix is comparing agency/gov't mortgage PASS-THROUGH security spreads to fixed term debentures of Tunisia and Panama.

    Pass-throughs trade much wider because the investor takes on pre-payment risk of principal. The investor sells call options to the issuer for basis points in spread.

    "Long-dated"... 30yr, FNMA debt (debentures - the apple-to-apple comparison) trade at around 5.20% today. That's a spread of about 72 basis points over the 30yr UST.

    No real story here. MBS is cheap, but it's not emerging market cheap.

    There are hundreds of reasons why market is broken but the biggest of it all is America's capitalism that is build on risk,greed,lies,conspi... attacs,theft just to name a few.
    Please don't forget :
    DOW JONES 30 that everybody loves so much and all business networks speak every day how cheap it is,WILL CRASH VERY SOON and John Q. Public will left with bankruptcy and without work and your polititians don't care about it as crash is made to enrich a few of the elite,but not you.
    Keep away from stocks,don't buy Dow Jones,SP500,Nasdaq it's all junk.
    December 09
    Dow Jones below 9000 at most super bullish case otherwise at 7000-8000 points.TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN LIKE CRAZY!

    How Badly Will a Recession Hit Online Advertising? [view article]
    Even though we're not in a recession, the recession we're in will be short?

    Love that I can discount so many organizations at once as not knowing economics 101 from a single paragraph.

    Newspaper Industry, Summer 2008: The Smell of Burning Furniture [view article]
    I agree that while, especially at a Tribune property where I work, management is inept, what kind of world is it where you're bombarded with 1000's of news tidbits per day and nobody is there to put it all together or offer any professional, experienced, perspective? In my idealistic view, newspapers should never have been public companies. They serve a public service. Unfortunately, the mentality of management is "old-world" thinking. Reply
