Still looking at that yield curve mambo chart and wiki text…
“A flat yield curve is observed when all maturities have similar yields…A flat curve sends signals of uncertainty in the economy. This mixed signal can revert back to a normal curve or could later result into an inverted curve.”

@stacy – thanks for the wikipedia link – am doing my homework now and have noted that, “the anticipation of falling interest rates will cause an inverted yield curve. Strongly inverted yield curves have historically preceded economic depressions.”

The extra debt is irrelevant!!

When looking at this clock it really does not matter what been borrowed this time around, as its going up so fast and the damage has been done. In for a penny in for a pound.

Incredible how out of control it all has become.

I vaguely remember when the LSE tried “highly computerized trading” ca. a decade ago … it was stopped due to the LSE almost crashing IIRC.

I will check the average volume of NYSE stocks in the coming days to see if and where the “sudden voulme drop” occurs .. if at all !

Great links .. Thx.

WOW!!!!
So Goldman Sucks was ripping off the transaction info and placing their bets before the traders’ orders even hit the market?
Good ol’ UNIX servers…

And GETCO
and Renaissance Technologies’ Medallion Hedge-Fund
are involved in this shit, too?

This story is getting juicier by the day…
I wonder how long it will take the Ass-munching Turd-tokers to catch on to this part of the saga.
And more importantly, can GS be charged with criminal activity as a result?

“Apparently, Goldman Sachs has been booted out from doing computerized quant trades at the New York Stock Exchange.

— GS had been making $100,000,000 a day with computerized trades.”

I was under the impression that ETF’s are treated in the same manner as regular stocks (with a Mutual Fund flavour)…

UNG has approx. 333Million Outstanding “units”
if they were to introduce another 1BILLION “units” into the market, that would mean a 3:1 dilution, which brings the price down to $4 or so…

HOWEVER, they made their application for the issuance on June 5th, and the SEC still hasn’t accepted, so perhaps it is a NON-ISSUE… i.e not a problem…

When I see a desire of a “company” to issue shares, it means they are looking for some quick funding…

Perhaps with the money they make by issuing these “creation baskets” they can then invest in gas companies, but it doesn’t mean they have the commodity in stock or on order…

it is a cash grab…
We have ETF’s in Canada, and they are “rebalanced” everyday, which is one reason they are shitty INVESTMENT vehicles… strictly for day-trading purposes only…

I don’t make claim to understand the voodoo governing the american markets (I don’t invest in them)… that is something that PHIL might be more enlightened on…

Nevertheless, I would not be putting my money in that one….
But Good luck to you… I hope you are right…
