Interesting, but how do I know you aren't the CIA, trying to get my phone number?
Shit....good question...
The NSA already gave it to them.
how do all of us know you aren't the cia?
I never said I wasn't, I told you alredy, DOD, Dept. of Defense...
I desperatly wanted a baseball cap. You have convinced me I shouldn't send my name and address....would you buy one for me and I'll send a courier to the pentagon to pick it up?
Yes I wanted one too, but the same thought crossed my mind, so I decided against it...paranoia sucks...besides I've changed my avatar, I'm not Dept. of Defense anymore, I'm Droogs of Death... but maybe to keep with the financial theme, I'll go with Droogs of Debt...
We are.
You are what? CIA? Or trying to get my phone number?
Yes.
CIA already has your number....
damn, like Jason Bourne and shit
Call from a phone booth or borrow someones mobile!
About time you started this. I've wondered where all the "deepthroats" are these days.
what's a phone booth?
That is funny.
seriously
Shouldn't there be a password or something?
lol
This should be plastered across the top of the ZH homepage at all time.
"ZH TIPS HOTLINE: XXX-XXX-XXXX"
Excellent.
No, its a bad idea. Lot of noise will ring on your phones, better keep it limited and maintian the quality of content. We are not here to awake any unworthy mob, just to inform patrons and tyrants.
Hey cool, I am living in Zürich, good to know!
Have a nice week-end
Me too!
GS has established the short positions they wanted to get another 44 days of 100Million days, It would be real fun to take the market up and make GS cover this time...
Aren't you forgetting Sigma X?
Force GS to cover??? What are you thinking???
vbg
GS going short? How do we know you are not working for GS?
The anonymous guy wants a password *lol*
screwing GS and impeaching the gobermint head should be the focus here..
Hot tip...we're still in recession, clunker or no clunkers
heres a tip...ticker on CNBC top of screen frozen again...
800 numbers (888 too) record all incoming numbers, and pay phones are hard to find these days. How about a non-800 number too for all us overly cautious tipsters?
You should also open up 'offices' in tokyo. It's easy with skype... zh servers are in sweden .... i wonder where in the world td really is?
I think by now it is obvious that TD is not just one guy. Unless, you think one individual can print a dozen articles a day, stay glued to Bloomberg, read all the comments and then have time to take your call?
TD would then be easily identifiable as the single largest consumer of Red Bull.
I'm going to buy a prepaid phone paid in cash... brb
there you go, but don't forget abou the built in GPS; You saw enemy of the state right? Make sure to feed it to the gators at the zoo after the phone call...
Actually that part is true. All modern cellphones leave a traceable signal, even when turned-off, if the battery is inserted. Likewise, your computer camera and microphone can be turned on in a similar manner. This is known as a "roving bug".

Only real solution is to buy an old cellphone or completely removing the battery after each call. Same applies for computers.
I'm reporting all of you to flag@whitehouse.gov
no need to, already done
cheeky's picture is all over florida and going viral. you can run but you can't hide!
Cheeks is this you? If it is I will contribute to your legal defense fund. Exactly who are the "victims" the police are trying to protect?
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-obama-joke...
I saw that too... and thought it looked a lot alike Cheeky's picture... but then I remembered Cheeky is from Europe... and Europeans generally don't have a great dislike for Obama... so it couldn't be Cheeky :-)
You should report the sec to the white house. Of course, they would only get in trouble if they actually DID their job.
Most important question of the day
Marla,
Are you really as cute as Helen Bonham Carter?
Tring tring.... tring tring... "Good morning, Goldman Sachs, Martha speaking, how may I help you today?"
Nobody is as cute as Helen Bonham Carter. How dare you.
Big Bank Go Ker-Plop!
http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aXsSaA6DJw_4
What is wrong with them? Announcing this on a Friday afternoon?
They must be slipping
Technically not a big bank (bigger than most tho), been going ker-plop for some time now - CEO ousted months ago - Orlando branches raided few weeks back - something about bad loans I suppose. Oh, bank is in Alabama. They are smart like that you know. Spoke with people in the know over a year ago that saw this one as possibly unavoidable. Guess they were right.
Marla - Appreciate the Toll Free. Makes using a pay-phone booth all the more attractive.
You never know, you may get one of those infamous RAHM phone calls we used to see a transcript of around here.
Yeah but if you took the red pill, and go to a pay-phone... well you know...no more wonderland...
TD, how many people are "you"?
at least 3 I think
He's incredible, isn't he? He certainly can multi-task.
Why make it so complicated?
Just do this:
1) buy a pre-paid phone card from a street vendor
2) go to an internet cafe w/voip/skype
3) make call w/the phone card
boom! that's it.
It's what millions of people do around the world. You see a lot of immigrants in western countries doing this all the time.
Internet cafes have cameras, not to mention cameras of neighboring businesses. Everything on internet is traceable, maybe you can wear them down by using proxy overlay, but if they try hard enough they can trace.
All calling cards are serialled...
Marla, you're going to have to do better than 1-800-deep-holes if you want serious info.

Do these tips have to be "fishy"?
I heard a major European bank was cooking its books to hide its off balance activities. Any interest?
I heard of a major US bank not cooking its books. Any interest?
Hey Marla,
Will you please let us listen, at the end of the day, to the funny remarks that will probably end up on your line? I sometimes watch "RED EYE" on Fox TV, and it is alot of fun to hear the stuff that the host gets on his "private' line...maybe you could broadcast the "comments" on zerohedge radio?
