• Why Japan Is Bad For The World

    The idea that a weak yen is positive for countries outside Japan is gaining traction. This is preposterous and we'll see why as currency wars soon accelerate.

So Who Leaked The Heinz Deal?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/14/2013 09:08 -0400



Just a purely accidental modest to quite modest increase in the Heinz June $65 call open interest yesterday, and an even more accidental $1.5 million profit in one day? Surely the new Morgan Stanely head of the SEC will get right on it, and market "credibility" will be preserved. At least Buffett's DOJ-immune rating agency Moody's will rate the JPM's committed financing for the HNZ takeover AAAA++++.

John Kerry pushed this deal as a hard bargain with Buffett, but Warren "Let's Anally Rape The Taxpayers MOAR, amIright Charlie Munger?" Buffett did manage to get a 2,500 year exclusive ketchup supplier to the U.S. Government & Military contract in exchange for the share premium paid.

Yea! 7:20 central when the Chicago exchange opens up. I have been watching it. Jump on it and they will prohibit the masses on extended trading. Problem is that the spreads are horrendous and if turns on you.....

Before they banned spot trading similar to FX I made pretty penny on these patterns. Then one day, I mentioned something here on ZH and two days later boom. No more plebes allowed.

Stay out of the markets fellows, let them cannibalize each other.

Just think, if it wasn't for all these regular $5, $10, $15, $20 price knock-downs on gold just imagine where the price would be today. Probably north of $3,000.00

Hey fonz, im taking a page outta your book today and starting a small position on TWC based on that selling pressure after the earnings mis being exhausted and I actually think theres some decent value here at these levels- I actually only focus almost exclusively on small and mid-caps but its a decent risk/reward setup at this point i think

Reminds me of the days a American company took us over.

All senior staff had to sign a document that it's forbidden to trade the company stock with inside info....

I CAN ASSURE YOU NOW THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY HERE IS SHORTING IT RIGHT NOW!! :)

just goes to show : buying a State secretary's company ensures you full "#1 crony capitalist" - preferred DC lobbyist - status for the rest of the incumbency.

Good investment Warren, now Washington will sing your song all along.

Watch Buffet's net worth INCREASE by leaps and bounds; a true financial Oscar winner!

He will out Pistorius Pistorius; luckily for him he has no girl friend; and more so for her!
