    Any news on what is really going on with CFC?

    I repost since you’ve given me a more appropriate location:
    Haines you bloated, antiquated tool.
    “What? You can trade volatility? Really? Golly next thing you know there will be options on ETFs!!”
    Way to be in touch.
    [Seriously, is he attempting to parody himself? I've been on CNBC with him; he doesn't seem that ironic.]
    [And a category for Italians Who Don't Sweat? Expecting another post here somehow?]

    Is Haines drunk all the time or is that some kind of natural slurred speech?

    Regarding CFC, some 5th tier independant equity shop said CFC was prepping for a bankruptcy filing this weekend. This was roundly ignored. However, following the disclosure of fraudulant (ie “recreated” in the words of CFC’s own lawyers) documents by CFC regarding one homeowners problems, the dismissed bankruptcy note took on some credence.
    That, plus the ~$5bn in CDO liquidations on the horizon (see Reuters) made everyone run for the exits.
    Cheers bitches

    His speech is naturally slurred you dumb fuck. HEY….THANK GOD FOR FOX BUSINESS NEWS. THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING to make lemonade out of the lemons the CFC’s and the CNBC analysts and the (Thank you for nothing) stock market is handing to we poor little investors.

    i would venture since cfc has under $300 million subprime residuals as of last quarter and no known cdos (?) the liquidation is not particularly, or at least not 20% worth of germaine to countrywide investors

    Haines was fucking awful in the CBOE interview. Should have had a production asst get back.
    “Will you start trading options on ETFs?”
    “We already do.”
    That and the fumble on Vix options, not pretty.

    You don’t know wtf you are talking about wtf. Mark Haines is in fact drunk all the time.

    Mark Haines is Irish. Ask Carney.

    CFC debt possibly being downgraded, rep risk on falsification of docs on a cust in PA.

    Maria sure looks a lot like Mark in some ways……hmmmmmm…..

  13. Posted by 1-2 | January 8, 2008 at 1:25 PM

    Observer, are you insinuating they are the same person ala Michael and Janet Jackson? Heck of a call if you are. I’ve never seen the two on the same broadcast.

    Someone on my desk here said yesterday that Haines said on air yesterday that we should just nuke Iran and be done with it.
    Can anyone else confirm this?

  15. Posted by newatit | January 8, 2008 at 1:36 PM

    Who is this Maria you guys talk about so much? I’m new at it.

  16. Posted by Anonymous | January 8, 2008 at 2:12 PM

    i had a fantasy about going down on maria last night. it was creepy, but oddly erotic.

  17. Posted by just me | January 8, 2008 at 2:20 PM

    If prince Ali Baba gets involved in C’s daily ops, will Maria go down on his oil pump?

    2:12 – are you male or female?

    @ 1:29
    re the Iranian ships harassing US ships, I heard him say “why don’t we just blow them out of the water”.
    And for what its worth, I have sat next to him on air and I smelled no alcohol on his breath… over the stench of alcohol and cheap whores on my own breath of course. Why do you think he has the morning shift!!
