I think its the size of the trades I placed but the stocks were cfc, abk and mbi.
I probably could have made the trade for smaller amount but thats not how I do things regarding daytrades.
Its hit/miss sometimes whether or not certain brokerages have the shares of these stocks that are nosediving.
Usually its a good sign to short something else related when the shares of something arent available.

I know flethcher was joking. I get a kick out of him debating willie in his little cheerleading thread
you guys get some spare time do some research on the history of Goldman Sachs....see who the majority shareholders are (this will take time) it will blow your mind. Pay close attention to people who move in and out of that firm to the government and back over and over through the years. Also ask yourself why they are part of the bilderburg group and CFR....damn just on tilt today, time to step away

obviously banks run the show and have alot of clout
what does that have to do with day to day trading and markets being rigged or that's what you seemed to be implying
by the way GS got hammered and fell to like 4 during the first great depression nobody was immune
also for your information GS was net short gold last i checked
Something you may want to think about.
Maybe they are net short gold futures while they were accumulating large precious metals positions via mining stocks. Its not beyond them or any other brokerage to talk one book out their mouth while playing the other side of the trade elsewhere.
No question GS are the sharpest guys on the street. They have all the bases covered in Washington and even have the #1 stock tout Cramer in their corner.
Not that they cannot be hammered, for they can be wrong. However, if GS goes down the tubes, my money is willing to bet everyone else will be further down the tank.
rigged may have been too strong of a word, certainly massive manipulation that is immune to SEC investigation. does not take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together. been watching these guys for years
as far as GS net gold position.....of course they are....they're a Central Bank, (US FED, ECB):scared: - CB's are aware of the fiat currency scam and do everything in their power to keep it going.
also, GS has large positions in gold mining shares....they are also partially owned by the same people who own Barclays Bank who control the ETF GLD....created solely IMHO to keep a large portion of the gold supply under their fists. SHTF and they confiscate it, just like 1933
PS - out of SIRI 3.78 - some spike there...GS must have covered...made a tidy profit, should have waited longer 3.88 now
we'll see if bully can push back through the nov lows
1406 S&P 12724 DOW guessing this a franatic shake retesting those levels
only thing that concerns me near term is the R word being thrown around alot usually a sign a viscous bear shake coming
regardless its all noise we heading for a R and markets heading lower
S&P just basically gave 1406 a kiss, 1405.82 and falling now that all you got bully? bring it!!

:lolBIG:
GS and others uttering the R word is more of a reason we went up
:toast:
day to day fluctuations and reasoning in general though overhyped
might have a nice bear shake in store busted back above the nov lows to end the day
but like i said before its all noise we heading for a R and heading lower in the months to come
tiz,
One of those financial firms is tied up heavily wth the democratic party and I believe it's GS. I heard about it when Gore was running for president in 2000. J
Just bought a fund today, assuming they let me back in it tomorrow as I was warned about to many roundtrip transactions... whatever that means, that has GS in it's top 10. I'm bipartisan in that way. They'll keep the Hilldog alive and kicking.

paulson our treasury secretary is ex ceo of GS
obviously our current system is a revolving door between corporations and government that's obvious
"Fascism should more properly be called corportism becasue it is the merger of state and corparate power." -mussolini
not sure this quote is directly from mussolini, never can tell on the internet,
but regardless, its a true statement, corportism leads to an authoritarian state
they'll wait till the next meeting looks like jan 30th
cut in between meetings shows panic on the feds part, no way in hell they'd do that
fed and its movements are very calculated as to not "spook" the market as much as possible
economies in general run on sentiment quite a bit, not just fundamentals
last i heard 100% chance of 1/4 cut at next meeting and 60% chance of 1/2 point cut based on the futures trading, market already priced in a 1/4 point cut regardless so not gonna help, not sure 1/2 would do any good either
It wasnt such a bad move after all to cover at 331 and book $13 profit, eh?
Looks like it closed the day right where I shorted it shortly after the opening.
yup good trade
:toast:
most bears are traders for the most part i'm a short and hold bear
looks like alcoa gave the bulls something to cheer about AH....
