Like I said above, I’m not interested in ANYONE’S thinking on these particular issues.
Let’s find something more relevant to argue about other than lobbies and the government’s intervention into the role of banks.
Einhorn is the one promulgating the Japan debt problem….probably because he has some big shorts on Japan. In fact, Japan’s cost to service its debt IS THE LOWEST AMONG ALL DEVELOPED NATIONS.
He conveniently leaves that out when he tries to work everybody up.
He’s blowing his own horn to try and boost his particular positions. If you don’t unnderstand that then you are naive.
>>Einhorn has bet heavily on the debt of CIT Corp and that isn’t working out so well.
What does that one trade have to do with the content of the speech? You said you don’t care about lunatic fringe and non-wall street thinking. I love it when you try to make personal attacks in lieu of offering a rebuttal.
>>There’s also a lot more to that speech that you conveniently left out.
Fine, back it up. What did I leave out conveniently?
Yes, I know. It’s known as the “Liquor Before beer” speech .
Einhorn has bet heavily on the debt of CIT Corp and that isn’t working out so well.
There’s also a lot more to that speech that you conveniently left out.
It’s available in it’s entirety on Motley fool
>>Besides, I really don’t care about lobbies, lunatic fringe thoughts about whether the banks are necessary and what non-Wall Streeters think about Wall Street.
This was from a speech given by David Einhorn.
Thanks Tybur and Brooklynite!
It’d be just a gag-gift sort of, but I think she’d get a kick out of the T-shirt…although, since she lives there, she may have alreasy have seen it at the farmers’ market.
David,
Did you change jobs recently? It seems you must now be working for this website. You’re nearly single-handedly keeping it floating!
🙂
It’s obviously not your words so why do you care what I think. It’s a long drawn out tirade that doesn’t have a strong cohesive message about anything in particular but is instead a collection of somewhat unrelated points.
Besides, I really don’t care about lobbies, lunatic fringe thoughts about whether the banks are necessary and what non-Wall Streeters think about Wall Street.
>>God, your head must really hurt.
Fine. Why is my 12:30 post insane ranting?

>>Insider trading has been illegal for years.
yes, but not before they were made illegal by law.

If it’s not illegal by law, IT’S NOT ILLEGAL, which means it’s OK to trade on inside information.
The definition of inside information is a very fuzzy one.
