[11:28] {Threei} *(GR) S&P CUTS GREECE THREE NOTCHES FROM BBB+ TO BB+ (now junk status); outlook Negative
[11:28] {Threei} - S&P: The negative outlook reflects the possibility of a further downgrade if the Greek government's ability to implement its fiscal and structural reform program materially weakens in our view, undermined by domestic political opposition at home or by even weaker economic conditions than we currently assume.
[11:28] {Threei} - "The downgrade results from our updated assessment of the political, economic, and budgetary challenges that the Greek government faces in its efforts to put the public debt burden onto a sustained downward trajectory, In our revised projections, we forecast Greece's net general government debt-to-GDP ratio reaching 124% of GDP in 2010 and 131% of GDP in 2011.

[11:40] {RonS} ftbk held up really well on that selloff
[11:40] {Threei} true
[11:41] {Threei} you know what irritates me the most about all this hearings and whole GS hoopla?
[11:41] {Threei} constant mention of "morals"
[11:41] {Threei} how come structural problem, systemic problem turned into moral problem?
[11:42] {Threei} since when morals should drive accounting?
[11:42] {Threei} design frikin system so it would lead to certain results you want
[11:42] {shorty} No logic to it Threei.
[11:42] {Threei} instead of designing system full of holes, then complain about those who live by its rules being "immoral"
[11:43] {Threei} more than that:
[11:43] {RonS} ...yes there is logic...keep seat and conduct shakedowns to keep money flowing
[11:43] {Threei} god save me from living in society where behsvior of economic elements is dictated by morals
[11:43] {RonS} nok knocked
[11:43] {Threei} since morals differ from society to societyu and individual to individual, that would be total and absolute unpredictable chaos
[11:45] {Threei} one thing truly pleases me today: canadian dollar
[11:45] {Threei} look at it hitting the skids
[11:46] {RonS} ...just curious...why does this please you?
[11:46] {Threei} 'cause I make money in US dollars
[11:46] {Threei} and then convert to canadian
[11:47] {RonS} ...makes sense...
[11:47] {Threei} except part I keep in US for purchases across the board or for trips
[11:47] {Threei} in USD I mean
[11:47] {RonS} ha...you can hedge yourself with derivatives :)
[11:47] {Threei} too lazy for that :)
[11:48] {shorty} Speaking of lazy, anymore stock picks Threei?
[11:49] {nemo} yeah, enough of philosophical pontification
[11:49] {dino} well, look at the gs attacks this way. everybody who shorted today bet against american business. that is how pathetic a case it is. they just hate sdhorts because they don't understand it
[11:50] {dino} its the obamination theme; evil shorts evil speculators
[11:50] {larisa} problem is not they are shorting, they went opposite of their clients. ALL serving companies come up with mottos like "our customers are the most important thing" etc. Just be honest and say "we are trying to screw you out of your money"..
[11:51] {RonS} ...human kind has had and will always have scapegoats
[11:51] {shorty} There was a good interview this morning (msnbc or cnbc) about this dino, with a hedge fund manager William Ackman.
[11:51] {Threei} larisa, any broker selling to a client as principal goes against him
[11:51] {dino} larisa, when i flip a house i am going against my "customer"; same w/car dealers, etc
[11:51] {Threei} only broker acting as agent doesn't
[11:52] {Threei} and these products had no open market
[11:52] {Threei} so no agency role for a broker
[11:53] {Threei} the only accusation that is valid is:
[11:53] {Threei} the product was designed top fail
[11:53] {Threei} that's what they need to prove
[11:53] {Threei} if they don't, the rest is pure unbridled bs
[11:54] {RonS} ...if we spend another 30 minutes down here with no bounce, i think we start seeing more selling...imo
[11:55] {RonS} wow...euro at 1.3237
[11:56] {Threei} I don't know why it still exists
[11:57] {RonS} ...pan- Europeanism...as in Peter Pan. Plus, US envy...as in penis envy
[11:57] {dino} hmmmm, buy the dips imo
[11:58] {Threei} overall, yes dino, I bel.ieve that is what is going to happem
[11:58] {Threei} this market pullback will be bought
[11:58] {Threei} not sure about today though
[12:00] {dino} today
[12:00] {dino} you forget, i am 3 hours ahead of you
[12:01] {Threei} oh yes
[12:01] {Threei} larisa, you missed it
[12:01] {Threei} while you were vacationing, we made a few bets
[12:01] {larisa} "Goldman Sachs has a culture of developing people who work very, very hard at their business careers and then have a very strong view of the importance of giving back to society " My point is, if they have a need to comuflage (sp) their actions with "good", others have a right to accuse them of not doing it :) to your question of morals.
[12:02] {Threei} and he beat me to a punch
[12:02] {larisa} what bets? :)
[12:02] {Threei} on market closings
[12:02] {larisa} lol
[12:02] {dino} a bit biased
[12:02] {Threei} then turned out, living three hours ahead of me, he just knew answers
[12:03] {larisa} he should share more
[12:04] {Threei} I don't even understand how shorting housing market back in 2007 was immoral
[12:04] {Threei} isn't it a subject of a job of any trader worth his salt to determine market ditrection and take according position?
[12:05] {Threei} how did it become "betting against America"?
[12:05] {dino} thats my point
[12:05] {dino} they could go after us for shorts
[12:05] {dino} slippery slope
[12:07] {Threei} look at AIG chart at the moment of the call... 5 cents from bottom
[12:07] {fernp} RAI, any read, vad?
[12:07] {fernp} 54 break long?
[12:08] {Threei} most likely yes but I'd feel a lot safer if it consolidated for a few min more
[12:08] {fernp} yes
[12:08] {fernp} ty
[12:11] {dino} amed to .01
[12:12] {magoo} AIG likes to return to that 38-39 level
[12:12] {magoo} sheesh, itwas 45
[12:12] {dino} out amed .01, +.76
[12:13] {Threei} RAI holding very well so far
[12:13] {Threei} if market selling subsides while it's holding right here, should do well on bounce
[12:14] {Threei} nah, lost support
[12:14] {nemo} look for rimm to go now
[12:15] {dino} fcx blood
[12:16] {dino} fcx gap around 75.25, feb
