Hilarious that the stupid "don't let anyone tell you that you can't have a Porsche" banner played when I clicked to this blog. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't have a Porsche! Not even Porsche as it bitch slaps your short position! Haha!

HIG is down 40%, after declining to give an excess capital figure.
Now 1 minute ago, Prudential Financial declined to give an excess capital figure....
Opportunity? You do the math.

In a report headed VW goes from the Beetle to the world's most valuable company (page 1, October 29), we said that a German financial daily, Handelsblatt, had reported that the London-based hedge fund manager Marshall Wace lost more than €5bn through its short positions on Volkswagen. Marshall Wace has since said that this is incorrect and that its loss is immaterial at less than 0.2% of total funds under management.

Did you read about the pretend dance of Cuomo "against" CEOs?
Cuomo is just throwing a bone at average Joe. CEO will always take the bacon, and leave Joe in the dust.
Remember Spitzer? Lawsuits were in fact to get the NY office, and business for his buddies. The real aim was to have money and power to shake the girl friend of average joe in hotels.
Average joe always get sticked.
Lost his stocks at the BOTTOM!
