@8 Thank you for calling my piece magnificent!!
I think @10 addresses your other points a bit. Sure, HFs have $ stake in what they write about/their positions. But their writing & publicizing of the critiques, if listened to by the companies (et al), would have cost the HFs money. Problems would have been addressed. MBIA could have maybe gone to $10 instead of $2. Lehman to $10 instead of bankrupt. Etc.
As for the proletariat, talk to your congressmen. Maybe if we didn't 'protect' them from HFs they all wouldn't have lost 40% last year...

@8 compared with MTV/CNBC, absolutely. Plus Rambo (first blood) was actually a good commentary on the mis-treatment of Vietnam vets when they come home. Plus you learn some good survival techniques. Eat that, CNBC

according to Zero Hedge, the moving company is actually owned by a Goldman Sachs shell company and this 98,689.07 is what DL owes for 'position protection' from their algorithms this month.
