That same computer executed my stop loss orders. I didn't have to do a

i guess you didn't hear that the computer programs on wall street
destroyed a trillion. in 1 day.

It was far more than a simple computer glitch. Greece and the possible
crash of the Euro was a lot more troubling than one trader typing
billion when he meant million. Most of that was recovered by the end
of trading.


uh, no. the market had dropped a few hundred points over the previous
week as the scope of the greek problem became news. a drop of 1
trillion in 1 day had zip to do with greece.


What the hell are you talking about?


you havent been following the market for the last week or 2 have you?
it's been dropping as the greek situation became news...it's BEEN news
for several weeks

sorry that rush just told you about it yesterday


and saying absolutely NOTHING about bush...nothing. not a peep.

now, why is that?


I say plenty about bush and the stupid war. That was his fault. The
CDO problem was caused by legislation that happened before he took
office. You seem to ignore that.


uh...no. in fact i quite squarely blame it on the right winger phil
gramm and his enron VP wife who engineered a bill to exclude the SEC
from regulating derivatives




cite it.
You are just trying to deflect the conversation away from your
failures to plan.


yeah. me and 100M other working poeple

OK that sounds right.
Just because 100,000,000 people fell for the idea that they could
borrow their way to prosperity does not surprise me.


ROFLMAO!! and how, pray tell, with wall street consuming 40% of GDP,
and with the middle class having NO pay increase in 10 years, were
they...we...supposed to make ends meet??

you right wingers...you starve the middle class THEN complain when it
starves!!

Anyone carrying any debt past 45-50 is not thinking seriously about
retiring, at least not in any rational sense.
I managed to own 2 properties, my car


blah blah blah...more right wing bull****

The down spike you are talking about lasted about 15 minutes.
There was a correction but that was not a trillion dollars.


http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com...ute-trilli.php

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 1000 points in ten
minutes today, wiping out $1 trillion in equity values as algorithmic
trading by high-speed computers spun out of control.

-----------------

gee. it certainly looks like markets are rational, just like the right
wing preaches, doesn't it??


uh...no. in fact i quite squarely blame it on the right winger phil
gramm and his enron VP wife who engineered a bill to exclude the SEC

Bush, Gramm, Clinton, I guess they are all the same guy in your mind


and the right wing....

never heard of gramm...

I think a lot of the drop was to tell Congress, that Wall Street
controls the money. Do not pass any bills breaking up to big to fail
companies. There are so many controls on the trading software, Wall
Street has a bigger budget than NASA, that to say some fumble finger
pressed a B instead of an M just does not fly. Especially when Wall
Streeters were in front of Congress at the time.

You have that right. It sure as hell was no glitch. Only in
liberal-debt monger liberal minds was it a glitch. They can dream on.
A trillion dollar move occured.


gee.and what caused it?

oh. you don't know. if you think it WASNT a glitch, by all
means...tell the world what happened. because no one knows


The market ran out of buyers and had too many sellers.


gee. that's happened before. number of times it produced a TRILLION
DOLLAR swing in 1 day?

almost never

That simple. No
one trusts our own governmetns debt-corruption currency and banking
mismanagement. And that includes the USA.


oh sure. the US is the only country in financial trouble

do you get sunburned on the planet you're from?


Between Greece and pathetic US numbers for unemployment and debt
spending, the market paniced. Big deal. Buying opporunities.


uh no. the greek situation has been news for weeks. a 1 day shift of a
trillion buck had zip to do with greece


Sooner or later this ponzi debt bubble is going to burst and this may be
nothing. This might have been the warning shot to out of control
government spending and ponzi federal banking.


gee. after ww2 we had a bigger debt burden than we have today. guess
you're right: the US doesn't exist.
