Jessi, I agree in normal situations, but I don’t mean for every trade. There should be some sort of threshold. I mean a MULTI-BILLION share trade should require a confirmation that would take all of 0.25 seconds. Small price to pay to prevent the rollercoaster that happened and the potential effect today and going forward.

“I don’t hate Jim Cramer bc I think he’s dumb – I hate him bc watching his show gives me anxiety.

DH, that is hilarious! I’m going to try doing that sometime. Can I borrow your music for it, though? I don’t think it would be as fun for me to watch him while listening to Harry Chapin and Nick Drake.

Kens, in the documentary “Babies” the mongolian baby slaps a goat. i was reading about it in AM new York today.

Biff, I wasn’t sure what you had in mind, but I should’ve guessed Schoolhouse Rock.

I saw the footage of Jim Cramer last night. Someone’s got to have a pretty “fat finger” to make that mistake. I saw that Sam Adams share price dropped to zero at one point, and that Accenture went from $40 to $0.01 / share at the same time.
