Ok.....
 
"triple witching" tomorrow.
 
I predict "Much Ado About Nothing," as in-----we just trade sideways all day.
 
Come Monday, though, hold on to your hats.

so if they temporarily ban short selling, everyone is going to try to cover their shorts right?

We may trade sideways, but judging by the futures, the market will have close to a 200 point headstart on the upside.

I would guess that 400 point last hour or so had its fair share of short covering in it, at least the weak shorts bailed.

Tomorrow should be entertaining watching the shorts/put guys try to get their options back in the money before the close.

The crash and failure of the crap companies just won't be allowed to happen.
 
It is all rigged.
 
The internet is basically a "surveillance device" that can and will be used against you.

Goddamn did Paulson just put an absolute beatdown on peeps who were short aggregate this time yesterday and didn't cover.
 
The message is clear......short selling will not be tolerated, and anyone doing so shall be rigorously prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Looks like time to start looking at gold?  I don't know.  Depends on what Paulson wants.
 
If Paulson wants the dollar up, gold won't help.  Don't mess with that dude.

Man this game is hard enough to play, but when the rules change in between innings it makes the game damn near impossible.

Dear Hank-
 
Sorry to disturb your love affair with yourself and your power this morning.  I am sure that you have a had a raging "HO" since yesterday afternoon.
 
Anyway, since the deal is to just set prices and dare anyone to challenge you, how about doing this.......set the price of gasoline at 10 cents a gallon.  OK?  Good.
 
Pay no attention to your boss who will rant and rave about the plight of his oil cronies........

Jax-
 
I have no idea what to say about what's going to happen today now.
 
Can't see the SP going down with all the shorts under nuclear attack, but then again, who in the hell would buy anything today when the fundamentals are horrible?
 
Gold to the rescue?  Not if Paulson has anything to do with it.
 
Guess it's just another day to sit it out and admit that I don't know wtf is going on.

Imagine how the poor guy/gal feels today who was short, or got short financials yesterday, and just got brutally violated (XXX style) by Hank Paulson.

money managers who have more than 100m AUM have to file their short positions starting sept 29th

expect the short squeeze from hell over the next week and then the quant fund whip we saw from last august will be exacerbated once the hedges know everyone else's shorts

they have no idea what they did

bad enough they did this anyday, but the night before triple witch

For a half trillion dollars I would like to think they would impose regulation on the CDS market...

 MArket by mandate...let's see that is called a command economy isn't it?

Part of me agrees with this ban on short selling because naked/illegal short selling is illegal and unfairly tips the hand to those who break the rules of the exchange. On the other hand, why would they just protect the financials? If you are going to make these rules, do it for the ENTIRE exchange and all stocks, not just these companies who took chances and overleveraged themselves.

Some firms deserve this beatdown for choices they made so protecting bad choices isnt my favorite thing either.
