You can create synthetic CDS, why not a stock. They knew there would be plenty of "bagholders" to replace the "synthetic" shares with. All after about a 15% "gain". Just in a day's work!

Tinfoil Posts: 578 Incept: 2007-12-01	This whole even points to SecondMarket as THE market. They're just getting rolling, IMO. Wall Street is the old-guard, toilet dumping ground. And why not? With HFT pushing so much volume, flash crashes, nazzy f-ups, SEC with heads up their asses.. How many times do you have to get popped on a stop loss to realize its a cesspool of malfeasance serving only one master? (Not saying private markets are better as they have a long way to go for fairness, but they're a lot better in many ways for an INVESTOR). I tip my hat to David and Cheryl - two people I have to respect for leaving NOTHING on the table for the crows to feed on. 2012-05-24 01:19:59 Permalink

Musicandnature Posts: 1947 Incept: 2007-12-05 NJ	Now Cramer is calling it outrageous and egregious. lol. Imagine the flack he took from the Cramerites. http://money.msn.com/technology-investme.... This reminded me of Jackie Chiles the lawyer from Seinfeld. If anyone wants a laugh from the past, ya got "the balm" and "the bra" clips here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpcEietIo.... ---------- Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose, You and me bound to spend some time wonder'n what to choose.

Floridasandy Posts: 632 Incept: 2009-08-20	delapaz, it certainly was successful for zuckerberg, but i think it indicates a pretty sad state of affairs now. i suppose that is the natural progression of a FU mindset, but i think it is pretty sad that wall street used to actually function to support new businesses and help them grow. 2012-05-24 07:08:32 Permalink
