Stacy Summary: Item says it’s based on renewed hope; I’m sure, however, we will soon learn what the insider traders know thanks to Timmy & Benny? Joe Bag of Donuts can then be sold the insiders inflated shares. Got to make sure we can get enough wealth at top so that it can trickle down, dontchya know?

great vid. of the new boycott Whole Foods! on FB – over 17,000 have joined in less than a week!
if the boycott gets big enough the stock will start dropping so another way to pressure the company is to tie the boycott to lobbying hedge funds to sell the stock short!!!! a la kamrabanque

FNM up 50% on 500 mio. volume @ 1.75$
AIG up 100% from recent lows
Same thing that happened to AIG ( after 20:1 split ) is now happening to FNM wrt volume.
I still maintain that ( ignoring the Programmed Trade volume ) it’s probably an attempt to sucker in money ( bagholders ) before a big dump.
FNM: 500 mio. x 1.75 is nearly 1 Bio$.
AIG : 34$ x 20 mio. current volume is ca. 0.7 Bio$
Stinks to high heaven IMO !
@Mike,……..they might have a cure for the baldy! : )
The recession is over
relax
phew!
cor blimey!
the recession is over!
It’s been so bad – do you know it may actually have been a depression!
But now
Baby we’re on our way to the moon!
Oh yes it’s been hairy over the past year
and TV has been pretty depressing.
But now there’s mass jubilation and dancing in the streets
fuelling gains on the FTSE
and house prices are going back up.
There’s a remarkable upturn
It’s noticeable
A surge in confidence among professionals
Optimism
Speculators and investors are getting ready
Bankers bonuses are back! executive pay is up!
Now we can dream about getting jobs again
of going back to work
We can hope for some of that famed trickle down
To buy one of those big black mean 4×4′s
that we always wanted.
On the other hand
Please dont tell me it’s phoney or it’s a sucker’s rally
or that economic pain has been merely delayed by massive government bailouts
or what’s coming is bigger and badder
the mother of all meltdowns
blood and thunder …
Maybe they’re all lying to make it seem better?
Maybe it’s just an attempt to sucker in our money before a big dump by insiders?
I just dont want to hear that
I don’t think I could bear it.
Do you think it might be?
@Mike/liverpool,
If they’ve only ‘requested’ your help then just tell them NO!
@Mike Stay away.
Tell them to go to hell.
@Max
The potential of the Whole Foods boycott to not only fail, but to backfire is deliciously ironic considering that the company was founded to serve affluent liberals. So, other than attempting to silence opposing views, what do you suppose the endgame of WFMI boycotters is?
@Max:
I just spent 500dollars at Whole Foods Market to support a person (Mackey) willing to stand up to the Communitarian freight train of mindless yes-we-canners who are boycotting a citizen who expressed an opinion about a proposed legislation. This is the reason to attack a man’s livelihood?

These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us.
What is not reasonable are vapid frenzied groupie people jumping to the cause of a boycott when the same vfg-people do not understand the underlying motivations Team Obama has for forwarding the agenda of federalized health, federalized education, and federalized morality.
Was this paragraph what enraged the “progressives”?
“While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system. Instead, we should be trying to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward less government control and more individual empowerment.”
Zero percent interest rates.
The few noisy whiners, i.e selected Chinese and Arabs, have been made whole on their MBS toilet-paper or were made even more promises, heck the crisis is over!
Now what to do with all this free cash? hmm, I know…lets play the stock market!!!
Classic pump ‘n dump in progress.
The cost is seen in game theory. If people cooperate (collude) then people produce the necessities and benefits of human life, if people prey on each other (cheat) then the necessities and benefits of human life are consumed by those cheaters.
It is false to claim that cheaters score anything of benefit. Cheaters injure innocent victims because they steal from the production process.
If the two players collude (cooperate) the end result is an increase of “profit” or score by 40 – each player gains 20 points.
If one player cheats while the other player doesn’t cheat (the psychopath factor) the cheater steals 30 points and the honest player receives no points.
What does that tell you?
Two people honestly cooperate and produce wealth with their advantage gained in cooperation. Those two people create 40 points and each gain 20 points.
If one cheats and the other does not cheat, please see this, the cheater creates a 10 point cost, production goes down by 10 points, total production is only 30 points, and the cheater takes the whole “profit”.
If both cheat, in game theory, each producer receives 10 points for a total of 20 points produced.
Does that sound like a modern corporation to you? If you don’t stab your fellow workers in the back you will be stuck on the bottom of the pyramid working for subsistence wages, gaining no profits, while the bosses stab each other in the back to split the meager profits.
I’ve been there, I’ve done that, and to be the best worker, to produce the most, the highest quality stuff, in the least amount of time, to bust all the established rates of production, to be the best employee possible, causes, and this is a fact, causes the middle management “managers” to fear for their positions, fear the upcoming “worker”, and rain down upon that worker a steady flow of falsehoods, cheats, back-stabbings, lies, and every possible action that can destroy that competition if the slightest hint of accession is perceived by the threatened mid level manager.
The higher tier managers know this, see this, promote this, and reward the mid level managers who are the most efficient at destroying competition, like a game, and if the mid level player is too good, the top level players eliminate them, by the same means: cheating.
Don’t take my word for it, consume your own life in “business” and see for yourself. If you happen upon a “company” whereby the idea is to cooperate, honestly, then watch out, watch out for those psychopaths – they will raid your happy cooperative, and they will destroy it.
If the idea is to know the truth about game theory, and how it applies to modern human life, I can suggest a few more links (if someone asks) and I will comment some here:
Cooperators gain the power to increase production through three obvious forms of honest “leverage”, or “mechanical advantage”, where this economic advantage can be seen with a simple illustration using three terms.
•1. Division of labor
•2. Specialization
•3. Economies of scale
One person alone has only enough power to feed him or herself. One person has no power to reproduce anything, no power to save, no power to insure against possible loss, no power to “bank” an extra store of power, only enough power to survive, even if the best of climates, even where nature provides ample resources.
That is a fact. The one person is born into no history, no advantage of cooperation between past human beings, no cooperation of gaining past knowledge. Passing on knowledge, recording knowledge, is a form of human cooperation; which brings me to the first term.
Past experimenters pass on their savings of knowledge power to future generations and that is a division of labor. Past experience is earned by past generations, they did the work, the new generation does not have to do that same work, the work load is divided by that division of labor.
Another example of this powerful honest economic leverage point, this fulcrum, is reproduction. Women bear the children. How can a pregnant woman survive all alone (let alone get pregnant) during the months of child birth? Labor is divided.
Why, the reader may ask, is this division of labor thing capable of increasing production? Perhaps you don’t ask. The question is a good one, it begs to be answered.
One person can specialize in one job and not be tasked with every job. One person can make 100 chairs and not have to make 1 chair, stop making chairs, start making hammers, stop making hammers, start making nails, stop making nails, start making glue, stop making glue, etc.
Division of labor and specialization combine, in honest cooperation, to enable 2 people to increase production by a significant factor, significantly more that twice as much production compared to two people producing alone, without exchange of any kind, one person on one remote island and another person on another remote and disconnected island. The two people cooperating have the power to increase production significantly greater once they honestly cooperate and employ division of labor and specialization.
That is two people, and that cooperation is shown in Game Theory as 20 point each earned of the 40 points of production.
If one steals the act of stealing will destroy cooperation. The destruction of cooperation is paid for with past or current production, there won’t be any future production, unless the victim is unaware of the cheat or if the victim is forced to continue producing while the cheater continues to steal from the production run.
40 points are earned by cooperation.
30 points are taken from past or current production, stolen by the cheater, and the cheater can “keep the slaves alive” or let them perish. Both will perish or the cheater must work and produce after the slave dies.
10 points each are earned if both player cheat, and that must be less than the production rate earned by two people completely separated form each other because each cheater expends production costs on defense. They have less time to produce because they are working at finding ways to defend against cheating and finding new ways to cheat.
Who is producing when everyone is cheating?
That is not shown in game theory, not without looking deep into game theory.
When everyone is cheating the rate of production falls below sustainable levels; where production is less that consumption – and that will kill off people.
Who does it kill; honest producers?
What game theory should teach us, is for us to avoid any connection with cheaters, and the most obvious connection, in my view, is inaccurate currency.
Who demands inaccurate currency?
Why is the supply of inaccurate currency increasing?
Cheaters love dishonest currency, even if they won’t confess that love.
