Ya'll just keep trashing Mr. Megas, doin' such a fine job of it.
That old quote comes to mind, "Never interupt the enemy when they're making a mistake".
I ain't got one of those secret decoder rings, but if he was gonna roll over & play dead he'd have done it years ago.
Yep, carry on kickin' that fire, hoping it goes out. But don't be suprised when he throws another log on.
interest in justice...
After 4+ years of "investigating" BCIT, don't you think the SEC oughta go ahead & reveal it's findings, instead of stone walling, shoulder to shoulder, with the DTCC like two thugs in an alley? If you wanted justice as you claim, you'd be screaming for full disclosure & transparency, just as they've required from Mr. Megas.
Then shareholders can finally focus and go after the correct source of the problem
In case you missed the press release, this action is well underway. And if you don't beleive me, there's links available to several major news outlets. But I ain't gettin' them for you.
BTW..I advocated action against brokers years ago
Why are you so against it now, after BCIT's explored every other viable option?
Has anyone had any success in a lawsuit against the DTCC before?
And what are our chances for success?
Cool... Before you get hauled off to prison, could you see to it that your monitering & tracking software quits jamming up my computer?
TIA
Indeed, let the cards fall where they may.
Let's just hope she gets caught with kings & sevens.
TY MR Murray....Big help, but it looks like I'm gonna be in the dark looking at stats on this one on NASCAR.com. Seems not all channels are available, unless I'm missing something?
LOL, sometimes life is funny, but I just tell it like it is.
Thanks for the link, I'll try and keep up!
Re: NASCAR on FOX...
Is there any way to watch tonights race on the internet? My dog ate the cable line, and I'm not sure if I can hold the antena to my 4" black & white t-v at the 2:00 position with one hand on the ceiling and one foot on my desk for four hours.
Well, at least it looks like he's used my money to pay the pool girl to keep it clean.
Union Equity & Prefered Properties need to be added.
I believe UNQT is maxed out.
PREF (a dividend spinoff) is still restricted, but surely one to avoid if the PR's start flying, as it'll fall harder than a tall cow pissin' on a flat rock.
Anyone out there still in this?
I bailed today and bought STEM.
IOW, regulations are flexible, depending upon who they benefit.
It's against SEC regulations.
I hear what she's saying.
Merry Christmas, Mick and all!
Does anyone know if this Madoff guy is linked to the SACM clan in Boca Raton?
A tip of my hat to Mr. Megas.
Being politically correct is more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. For starters, you're always wrong, and piss off a lot of good people along the way. And good people make bad enemies.
Thank you for the kind words, you're a true class act.
Hope your day is equally beautiful. :)
So much for free speech. Hell, there wasn't much of that even while I was paying, come to think of it. I once had 10 posts deleted in one day and got a cute little note from admin, something about hurting others feelings. Nothing worse than a nekid shortin' sissy with a snitch button, a twitchy finger and a guilt complex. And all the Ihub cops take their side. Nice.
Sorry, Bill, but that warm & fuzzy feeling is gone. Other than interacting with a couple of dozen stand up individuals, this ihub message board isn't any better than RB. And it costs more.
No real need for heat here, other than maybe three or four nights a year. Electric heat spins my meter faster than nobama on his birth cert. A fireplace is high on my list of things to do, but far enough down where it ain't gonna happen this year.
About 20 days to go in the official hurricane season, and everything's done, judging the number of people asking me for work. Three guys asked me in one day, and one of them was a real estate agent (thumb smashers, I'll never hire another). When you check out google earth, the blue tarps remaining indicate those who spent their insurance check on new Cadillacs.
Oh yeah, congrats on the condition off your wood (now there's something I don't say to another man every day). The old barn on my family farm is 158 years old, and a solid foundation slid under it would give it another 158. I saw an old house on the web that was 300, coolest thing I ever saw.
Even a broken clock is right once in a while. Unless it's an electric digital with no battery back up, which is what I think we're dealing with, after reading the worlds financial heads and central bankers are meeting this weekend, and they may shut down the whole world's markets until they agree on some new rules. Simply implying this is a possibility could crash the market on it's own, 'cause nobody wants their money frozen 'til the cows come home. With the addition of melamine to our candy supply (thanks, China) and FEMA/UN/US troops in the streets, could be one of the scariest Halloweens on record.
Probably cheering you right up, huh? The best investment going right about now may be lead, 4' X 8' by 1/2" sheets, lining a room about 20 feet underground.
Joe Smith started the day early having
set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am.
While his coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA )
was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG ).
He put on a
dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),
designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE )
and
tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA )
After cooking his breakfast in his new
electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA )
he sat down with his
calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO )
to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the radio
(MADE IN INDIA )
he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY )
filled it with GAS
(from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search
for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end
of yet another discouraging
and fruitless day
checking his
Computer
(Made In Malaysia ),
Joe decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL )
poured himself a glass of
wine
(MADE IN FRANCE )
and turned on his
TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA ),
and then wondered
why he can't find
a good paying job
in AMERICA ..
Ouch. Watching your retirement slowly bleed into the sunset must be gut wrenching. I hear a lot of talk about reassuring investors... "just sit tight until we get the rest" is what it looks like.
On AIG, nice dip today, but I'm afraid buying more would send angry shareholders to my front gate with pitch forks and torches. Too bad they axed the next party, I was thinking of showing up with a pallet of Yukon Jack and a bus load of strippers.
Thought of it after I posted last, the bugs will let you know if you've cut too much firewood. And likewise if they take over an old forest. So let me know at the first good thaw and I'll bring Big Mac to knock 'em down.
P.S. May want to alter the gears in your loader & dozer to keep up. LOL
Can't cut too much firewood, no such thing.
And congrats on reaching retirement age with enough fingers remaining to type. Wall street types should all be required to wear a blue collar for at least one week.
Retirement is a fairy tale, I've always been told. When Dad retired he took a three week drive to Alaska (one week each way, with a one week stay), rested for a week, then got a part time job. And I've been constantly reassured that I'd never see a dime of the "Social Security" funds I've donated. 401K's? Unions? I'll stick with workin' hard and taking risks, as fortune has a way of finding those who earn it.
Just wondering, what's the percentage of funds "locked in" that investors can't touch?
All cash, sitting it out.
Should be safe to re enter when Dow dips below 100 and the NAZ bottoms out around 5 or 6...
Holy shit, the whole market looks like a pink sheet scam.
What a great idea, Wasilla as the new Washington DC. Scientists are alarmed at the danger of a hurricane wiping DC off the face of the map, kind of like they were before Katrina, and then this latest blowjob in Galveston... I estimate the shipping cost around 2.7 trillion if we all chip in, probably much cheaper than rebuilding.
...writing checks to bankers kind of makes me nervous.
One of my first experiences with banks, I was told, "It's a lot easier to put money in than to take it out." Amazing, after all these years, how true this rings. It's now so easy, they'll just take it directly from our paychecks and call it the "Oops, we lost your money" tax.
I accidently overheard one analyst say June was the bottom, and another say August was it, with the end of September proving them both idiots. The hedge funds have yet to collapse, so I don't think we're out of the woods. When they go down, I expect the rotten bastards will totally crush the global economy. They've been self regulated for so long, theirs is a pretty deep hole...
...And if it gets as bad as I think it might, Ted might look like the Best choice.
What's the difference between a hillbilly and a redneck?
Rednecks live on flatlands.
Who won the veep debate? IMO, hunters are smarter than comics, as they can survive quite well in a bad economy.
I thought Uncle Ted Nugent was running in '08...
Yep, that's about the extent of my political insight, a month before elections.
...The market, ain't getting any better anytime soon by the looks of things. Wifey says it's all because of the upcoming election, I say they're being a bit too dramatic.
LOL Looking back I wish I'd had the balls to go all in, proving there's a bit of chicken in me.
OK, maybe I'm a little smarter than a blind squirrel. I believe the ratings analysts were a wee bit over reacting to knock more than 98% off the value of the US's largest insurer. I also believe some of them wanted cheap shares and had large short positions, and now expect them to make money on the way up. I don't know much about the management, but I think Moe, Larry & Curley could right the ship from here.
Is "Credit default swaps" anything like nekkid shortin'?
You know what they say about blind squirrels.
I've almost doubled my investment in SSBX also, looking to take some profits Friday before everyone returns from lunch.
Sideways in MAGY, my kids say it will be huge. The concept is brilliant, but management will need to keep up the good work and not dilute the piss out of it.
Going after GE next, rumor has it Mr. B just plopped down 3 billion in prefered stock. Think he knows something?
So much for the suppy & demand theory. Wall Street can kick your ass with a pencil and bad math.
Da dead cat bounce is directly proportionate to the height of the building it was thrown off, multiplied by the direct force of the throwee. No extra points for style, but a good follow through is important.
Hope your index funds recovered some ground today.
Sideways is a good trend these days. LOL
How many people do you know who are green in AIG? LOL I snuck in the back door this afternoon and got a couple at $2.63,was $2.70 AH last time I looked.
My question is this: what ever happens to the independants who show up when they kick off the fundraisers before every election? Ralph Nadar, that guy probably bags millions every four years. Strato tried talking me into running, but I've got better things to do. And besides, I was never one to bullshit people out of their money, and not many would approve of the way I hunted terrorists.
Oh well, wake me with the bad news when it's over. :)
A tip of my hat to you, Stephanie...
Very well done, with number one. Without even seeing what you've got on the other eight points, I have to wonder if this cat is truly the best the donkeys can come up with. If it is, their party is in worse shape than I could've ever imagined.
Welcome to the board!
I paid off my credit cards a long time ago, have been doing fine without them, and have work every day unless I can find something better to do. IMO, unemployment & government handouts are for those who can't adapt, or won't try. Yeah, tough times will kill some people, but others will hardly notice. And some of the cowboys might even compare these tough times to the roaring '20's, buying new pick ups, shopping in the big city malls for new bib overalls, scooping up wrongly undervalued stocks for pennies on the dollar... The real reason Jake shot his t-v was probably because he wanted a big screen plasma.
Ol' Jake shot another t-v? He should try my t-v schedule... Turn it on just before the green flag, and shut it off right after the victory burnout.
Sweet board, Brother! I've seen Stephanie around plenty, and think she'll fit in nicely here.
Yep, all's calm on our little blue marble, 700B dollar bill for us taxpayers, and loving aliens due to arrive over Alabama on October 14th. Looks like a good time to tune up the big chainsaw and shapen my axe.
How about jail? Not sure about the rest of the country, but they incarcerate those here in Florida who can't maintain the financial means to afford car insurance.
Maybe if they started jailing those who don't understand finance, and take wild risks.
Nice to see you again.
My brother sent me another great song by the author of "Titties and Beer"...
