Desperately Seeking HFT Market Makers In Brian Moynihan "Eat Shit" Contracts

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We have the perfect job for Designated Market Maker Getco: after the HFT firm did everything in its power to make sure GM's stock will never drop below $33 as long as HFT is the only dominant power in the stock market, the next logical place for the talents of the world's biggest High Frequency Trading powerhouse, is making markets in Brian Moynihan resignation odds. Because even though InTrade has just launched a contract on Brian Moynihan resignation odds by June 30, 2011, there is no markets and no bids and offers. Furthermore, we are confident that Bank of America, which has recently bought out all potentially embarassing domains of the www.brianmoynihanblows.com variety (although www.brianmoynihanswallows.com, .net and .org are still available), will demand a market maker who represents a "slightly" subrealistic outlook on Moynihan's chances of survival, and is willing to "internalize" all such risk, (unclear whether or not selling residual risk to the Fed would subsequently ensue). And in keeping with tradition, Getco should surely be paid using BofA's residual taxpayer-funded TLGP capital. Furthermore, Zero Hedge will work closely with Nanex to monitor the number of flash crashes in Moynihan "eats shit" contracts as they are already called in the street.

That poor bastard will probably only get a $30,000,000 'package' to walk away.  I wonder if he'll make it?

Hey CD (Merry Christmas buddy).  As you know, we are close to some of these guys.  However, after reading and seeing the press reports on this story above, even we have to roll our eyes and shake our heads and ask, what on earth are these executives thinking?  They should be focusing on their business. Not, some nonsense peripheral issues or name calling "side-show" issues and web names/sites like these.  Even we are surprised by BAC's actions descibed above.

You take care our friend.  Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Well if Monyihan wasn't such a Douche Bag of a CEO...

Then there wouldn't be www.brianmoynidouche.com...

BankofAmericaSucks.com will be the one that got away.  It already exists, although the site could really use some work.

Aside from a fervent desire to make a ton of a buncha bo-coo fortunes on being short the markets, and what is the essential problem with the FED and the Treasury placing a floor under the stock market in perpetuity?

As a contrarian view, what precisely, is the downside?

I can't see any reason, and I am short as well as anyone who has posted every legitimate argument and postulate as to why the S & P shouldn't be at 666 since March 2009.

    OT:

    Complete and utter market manipulation on the Euro/USD cross as obviously The Bernank buys a freakin' butt load of mojitos for little Miss Euro in a sad attempt to flatter her....which will almost certainly result in that bimbo hanging over the rail and hacking them right back out onto the Bernank...which won't result in a loss at all...no no.  And by the way, if it destroys the dollar, who cares.

    Of course, this throws the freakin' oil monkeys into a conniption as oil futures increase in price from stupid to dot com...all of course to start the mirror ball spinning in the Roach Motel [SPY] on a day when that place was deserted until just now.

    Thank you Ben Bernanke.  I look forward to watching the riveting testimony before the house banking group in the coming new year...for you sir are the greatest financial criminal to ever walk the Earth...and I am 100% certain that folk are figuring that out.

    Psssst.  Criminal Wall Street bankers....."We can seeeeee uuuuuuu."

    CAPTIAL WILL NOT FORM IN BANKS AS CORRUPT AS THESE.

    We now return to Tyler coverage of the joke known as Moynihan as he attempts to bury freakin' bad titles by the thousands so that they don't get between him and his $100 million bonus check.  And if you need to live in your car as a result, so be it.

    I shoulda posted his odds when the line on BAC was.

    Nicely played ZH

    The real question is who will pick up Brian Moynihan's contract & with how long a time interval after his departure from BAC?  I suspect that using Thain as a benchmark Brian Moynihan will fall below that marker in the all important speed, quality of position & compensation package metrics.

    Telling that there are no contracts trading on any Wall Street Executive getting serious time .... so the worst up for consideration is simply loss of command.

    "Bank of America, which has recently bought out all potentially embarrassing domains of the www. brianmoynihanblows.com variety..."

    What An Excellent Use of Shareholder Funds
    I guess it is better than the usual SEC fraud and insider trading settlements where the share holders have to pay the fines for management crimes trying to screw share holders...

    And you own BAC because?

     A Statement from Safeguard Properties, the company that is hired by BoA to take control of the properties in foreclosure, but have been guilty of breaking into houses that weren't in foreclosure or were in the process of renogotiating their mortgages.

      "We are especially proud of our participation with Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Vacant Property Registration Committee, which led to the creation of the MERS® Initiative."

     All these companies are linked to the same crimes.

    Just like everything else involving the financial markets these past few years.......completely stupid-brazen-illegal situations not only persist they Thrive, and absolutely fuck-all gets done about it.  The banks are a bunch of little girls.  The ONLY thing Moynihan, O'Neil, Thain and others are good at, I mean really fucking good at............is getting PAID.

    So what you're sayin' is...golden parachutes = US stimulus package.

    Sweet!  PixieDust for all, and to all a good night pumping gas at $3.50 per gallon because L. Blankfein decided oil was all technically ripe for another run up the flagpole as B. Bernanke hands him a billion or so Bernanke Bananas. 

    Well, someone had to step up and prop up the OIH which in turn is propping up the Roach Motel [SPY] today...even though the place looks deserted...hey, and the VIX is still rising....and Blight on America shares....are falling?  WTF?

    Memo to L. Blankfein...higher on that crude oil future thingy...the people must have their STIMULOUS.
