ParticipantMy friend works at a local broker dealer, LPL Financial, which is the largest independent B/D in the country actually, told me they’re laying off 10% of their workforce, about 300 people.
He thinks the cuts aren’t over yet…

September 21, 2008 at 2:50 PM in reply to: LOL: It keeps getting better. Fed “clarifies” short selling restrictions. You can’t, but pros can…. #273570ParticipantFLU, that’s a good thing. If those market makers can’t hedge the puts they write with short stock positions, the options market goes haywire. Check out WM and other financials and look at the ridiculous spreads there.
If you can’t short, buy puts! If the MMs aren’t allowed to short, the spreads will make sure that it isn’t worthwhile to be long puts.
Allowing the MMs to short also gives retail investors a chance to profit from negative sentiments in the financials since we can’t short directly or get into any of the ProShares ETF at the moment.

September 21, 2008 at 9:34 AM in reply to: So now the Feds are gonna clear out the Banks REO’s???? #273451ParticipantSaw this on CR this morning, and you all should see this. It appears that we are bailing out FOREIGN financial institutions as well!!! Seriously??? This is getting ridiculous. They’re taking assets that was originated up to this month. Why are they taking assets as of this month when these banks should have known by now not to issue them any longer? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
