I think Perry saying "Sticking it out" really means "We don't want to tip our hat that we fucked up and are dying to bail on this"
I'd also be surprised if any of the other places admit to more than "sticking it out".

TGFD doesn't have a clue about those "Unknowns". I'm just being honest, that's all.
BTW, @#2,3,4...I like Sue Herrera. WTF makes you think she has a "cock"? Idiot.

@17. Awesome.
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2008 11:29AM
most of these guys will be sticking it out at least through next week b/c the DAX is reweighting Volkswagen from its current 27% weighting down to 10% on Monday. This will force all the DAX Index Funds who hold Volkswagen shares (which currently is about ~20% of the float)to dump their shares. So you will have selling pressure + increased liquidity next week, so maybe, just maybe it might trade a little more on fundamentals.

I find this whole thing absolutely delicious.
Hopefully this will shrink the financial services sector as a whole - something we desperately need - and we'll have new Joe the plumbers coming online to fix my toilet.

you find it delicious, really, as delicious as you find eating strangers ass in public toilets?

Anyone educated on this matter, is there any recourse on the apparent flagrant manipulation that has been done here by Porsche? Is this just a matter of, "Too bad suckers, now that we've screwed with your lol short positions, F off?"
And if that's the case, doesn't this make international investing a much less safe place, where good faith is just another set of 9 meaningless letters?
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2008 12:10PM
28: what they did was legal in Germany... if you can't take the bruises don't play
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2008 12:18PM
What's NOT legal is Porsche claiming one thing one week, then after the stock drops claiming another thing to manipulate the share price the next week. The fact is, they don't have the funds and can't borrow enough debt to get to 75% of VW. I call bullshit.
Why would you cover? There are few logical buyers above 200 Euro/share.

Good point. Maybe TGFD should register with DB and properly log in. I'm considering your suggestion. Thanks.

the irony of hfs literally "crying" over a short loss due to misinformation is ironic and laughable. not so fun when you aren't the one circulating the misinfo it would appear.

boo hoo - lets cry for a bunch of assinine managers betting on the demise of a manufacturing company.
These fund managers build nothing,and have now been exposed as knowing nothing,
and on top of that they are now going to begin whining over how their dice came up with the wrong numbers???
The financial industry is hitting an all time low - liars - whiners - money losers - scammers - idiots pretending to be geniuses - did I miss something?
Posted by guest , Mar 16, 2009 2:10PM
@43 - they are not hitting a low - just being unveiled
