All they needed to do was hire me, and I would have only lost half that. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-c... Quote: JPMorgan Chase acknowledges $2B trading loss JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, said Thursday that it lost $2 billion in a trading portfolio designed to hedge against risks the company takes with its own money. The company's stock plunged almost 7 percent in after-hours trading after the loss was announced. Other bank stocks, including Citigroup and Bank of America, suffered heavy losses as well. "The portfolio has proved to be riskier, more volatile and less effective as an economic hedge than we thought," CEO Jamie Dimon told reporters. "There were many errors, sloppiness and bad judgment." Translation... We betted on the wrong side of the market ...expecting a big payout...The market took off the other way. We ate shit... End of story... We're not going to making the same mistake moving forward... We've decided to go into the opposite position .... before everything reversed again...Any additional questions? ‹ To pay down and refi or not OT: If it sucks to be at a UC or CSU school now...Wait a few more months › Login or register to post comments http://online.wsj.com/article Submitted by flu on May 10, 2012 - 4:06pm. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424...

But I was looking AH, and something that concerns me. 1. Asian markets are not tanking. You think if this was a big deal, they would be reacting... http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^n225 2.

IMO also Europe bonds will be bought to the exact point they need to be no matter how ugly things get (Miraculous buyers from nowhere).

No doubt it is an egg on their face, but what is $2B these days when the word trillion is uttered without a second thought. Funny how once gain, all the dominoes are being lined up right after the mutual fund and 401k money was sucked in on the first of the month. Wonder whether it'll be time soon for the hedgies to visit disneyworld with kids or all this is just to elicit the pavlovian selling reaction, then buy low followed by next leg up. Sell in May. Santa Claus Rally. What next ? Cinco De Mayo Buy-O-Buy-O ? Its getting mind numbingly boring. Login or register to post comments flu wrote:I don't know.

The Nikkei isn't tanking, only down 0.6%, but the Hang Seng is. Currently down 1.34%. European and American Indexes futures are down around .6-.8% so far. We'll see how the day play out. Update: European Index are down between .9% (CAC) and 1.5% (IBEX). Login or register to post comments AN wrote:flu wrote:I don't Submitted by flu on May 11, 2012 - 8:23am.

Funny that you're getting rid of your longs today. I actually sold all my short and going long. After that JPM's news and the market didn't tank like I expect it to, so my guess is there's a pretty decent support at this level. Login or register to post comments So....
