Remember What We Said About Thinking Before You Comment?

By

We weren’t kidding, bitches! According to FT Alphaville, clearly giving you people far too much credit than is due, a comment lefty by “sugardaddy” this morning caused the Sterling to “jackknife…falling from 1.64 to the dollar to a low of 1.61 and moving above 0.87 to the euro.”

      Way to speculate / make stuff up Alphaville. Folks – please take a second and think about just how retarded the logic being used here is.

      @5- yes, Alphaville is retarded, but it’s still awesome that they’re bestowing such credit on the daddy of sugar.

      I’m now worried for the “pounding-my-secretary-in-the-ass” guy’s secretary. Will his rumour speading on dealbreaker lead to the unfortunate ass pounding his secretary must live in fear of?

      this is news? pump and dump has been happening for ages on the internet; and rumors have been spread around trading desks for ages as well.
      the only piece of news here is that traders are looking to the internet for rumors rather than to their buddy on the phone

      DB jumped the shark today. It became self-aware and can no longer function as it has been.
      I suggest DB change require registration, change it’s domain address every so often, then only update approved members of the change.

      It is now clear that FT Alphaville = responsible for half the trolling on DB.
      Out of 1000 comments/day here they watch like a hawk, they picked some random one and made it the cause? Bravo FT, well done!

      Funny thing is that I was online when sugardaddy made his comment and the first thing I thought was whether the guy is a currency trader. I quickly checked around and concluded that sugardaddy was full of shit.
      FT Alphaville now has a new theory of what happened, and it doesn’t involve sugardaddy. But it’s quite some publicity for DB.

      amazing how sugar daddy’s comment “caused” a price move that occured before the comment. his post was at 8:04 several minutes after the move. hence the “GBP getting killed” in his post. wow alphaville are retarded fucks.

      Shitman, TGFD is seriously jealous.
      Sugardaddy is the man; his one-liner elicited a response from #10 Downing St.

      no kidding 28, his comment was on the existing gap down in GBP. anyway that had been an active rumour all morning. FT Alphaville “writers” probably need some new material

      @38 : The line, “Blue Horse Shoe Loves Anacot Steel,” was the code that Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) had Bud Fox(Charlie Sheen) use for insider trading in the film “Wall Street” (1987).
