The NYSE was supposed to lose 50% of its value today.

Put options and such other things. I guess I'm the only one who remembers this.

Would that we could stop jumping on every negative thing that comes from obscure places in the blogosphere as if they're gospel...

1. I wondered about it too

someone took a big hit today and it makes no sense which is kind of creepy. Not many people have that much dinero to throw away like that.

2. Everyone who reads this ought to K&R it.

I am so tired of the empty negativity going on. Indeed, the empty muling "post" regarding "What did you use to be?" was the most... fuck it, I'm not going to describe it just about set me off. If those people have gripes, let them march and do what they want. Hanging around here griping isn't going to do anyone any good and it's contagious.

3. It's no different than the people on this board who have been predicting a coming war w/ Iran

And they keep pushing the goalposts back with new prediction dates. And then when I-day doesn't arrive on the predicted day, they invent a new date that the "certain" war with Iran will commence.

4. Scott Ritter; didn't he say summer (June) 2005 would be THE date?

In a word:

OOPS

5. Hehe, put option buyer got slaughtered. Put option seller is laughing.

Actually, put option seller was probably laughing for quite a while.
