Darkside of the looking glass

Fascinating audio slide show on the stock market that even financial dummies like me should find interesting

[Jack]

I've only gotten through the first 30 slides...but this seems interesting. Fascinating, in fact.

[NEOPO]

Yes excellent - about half way through now.

Seems we have been failing strategically for quite a while now.

Double post

But while I'm at it here's the google video of the Norman Dodd interview
from 1982 regarding the tax exempt organisations that Monte references in his book Madmen at the Helm
for those like me that have no spare time to read the transcript but can listen to it

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nother week, another hedge fund goes down. This time it’s a child of Salomon Brothers—Archeus, run by Gary K. Kilberg and Peter G. Hirsch. The official word is that whoever was running the books at the Manhattan based hedge fund screwed up, which prompted redemptions. Of course, having its main fund down almost 2% this year probably didn’t help.

The bottom line? Archeus went from $3 billion under management last year to around $700 million today. And everything’s getting redeemed back to investors at the end of the year.

Excellent. SEC knows there is a bomb just sitting there...

That guy's voice sounds like Neopo's

[NEOPO]

Yes - in my head I am very sophisticated and distinguished but on tape just another midwestern redneck

Ok I have two words "financial squibs"!

These people have america by the throat and the balls.

Dispersed cost and concentrated benefit indeed.

These single digit billion $ babies are small change yet if you wanted total control - absolutely neccessary.

This whole thing could be on its ass at a speed that defies the laws of economic physics!!

Sugar!!!!

That was excellent, though after listening to it I need a drink.

It's systemic. This system is purposely setup to make these types of frauds possible. No wonder there's little transparency.

I wonder if an addition to profit taking, other agendas could be satisfied, such as destroying upstart companies trying to bring new technologies to market that may threaten existing players the status quo, etc.

Presented like a very competent college professor on a lecture, which adds credibility, which adds fear.
Well reasoned, with references, which adds credibility, which adds fear.

enough to make my economic lay-persons mind go "oh f**K!"

any credible voices out there care to debunk this guy please?

say it ain't so?

[MD]

I would like to see financialsense take a peek at this topic. I want a second opinion from a credible source.

This is one more load on the already overburdened trading system. The damn house of cards is looking more fragile by the day.
