The co silence is kind of reassuring in a very unnatural kind of way. Almost tells me that something big is in the works to counter this the recent slaughtering of the pps. Otherwise they would've addressed it by now. Reasonable inference, don't you think?? I hope at least :)
...actually we cant hold EK or PT responsible for possibility that the pressure on shares could be SI / Pinetree related. If it is a direct cause, it was SI's "cowboy" style plus failure to hedge his portfolio as the reason...Of course ANY might have been the Pinetree "hedge" but failed because it just did not accelerate as quickly as the oil/gas/minerals sector deteriorated. Obviously ANY was not the proper hedge, nor would you or should you realistically have expect it to have been.
...but in the end...we all still all here wondering who is on first, who's on second and what's next. This too will end.
