Trimming the Hedges

It is my firm belief that major hedge funds will collapse, bringing about a Savings and Loan/long term capital management (LTCM)/Enron-style collapse in the financial markets. This is a raw-materials blog for making sense of the mess after it happens. Update: With the U.S. government debating on a $700 million bailout for the economy, this crisis has surpassed my wildest expectations, so my new prediction is that the U.S. will default on its loans for the first time in history.

Flagged for future reference

JIM,
I'll say this 1 more time....the HYBRID system
is going to fail us and we will have a giant
crash...might not be this year or next but it
will happen. That and the new no downtick rule
is crazy.
I'm a trader and I see this happen daily in a
ton of different stocks and it will happen in
the overall market. What say you? They need to
do something about this and they need to, at a
minimum, have a backup plan that they don't tell
anyone else about....because they don't want to
look like clowns. We need specialists or a
different system....I can move CAT a point with
no volume if I wanted to. This is the only
thing scaring me about this selloff!!!!!!!
Asked by jnorine

I dont disagree with any of this. The difference is
that i am the only one in the nation willing to go on
national t.v. and say it and then no one backed me up.
