[13:09] {Les} the speculators win?
[13:09] {Threei} damn them

[13:57] {Threei} SEC and various exchanges have agreed on a 'structural framework' to deal with circuit breakers and 'erroneous' transactions
[13:57] {Threei} - SEC: "This morning, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro had a constructive meeting with the leaders of six exchanges the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, BATS, Direct Edge, ISE and CBOE and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to discuss the causes of Thursday's market events, the potential contributing factors, and possible market reforms.
[13:57] {Threei} "As a first step, the parties agreed on a structural framework, to be refined over the next day, for strengthening circuit breakers and handling erroneous trades."
[13:58] {Threei} Senators Levin and Merkeley introduce amendment barring banks from betting against their clients

[14:10] {Les} this is the woman that told France to stop thinking, in order to get the economy in order
[14:10] {Threei} how?
[14:11] {Les} France has reputation of thinkers, talkers - philosophy and discussion is revered. she said 'stop it'
[14:12] {Threei} well, judgung by that headline she clearly leads by example
[14:12] {dino} see it, no worries
[14:12] {Les} she returned to France from board of US company. guess she learnt the 'American way'

[14:13] {nemo} digesting now
[14:13] {Les} lol dino, forgot the .30 break blabbering...
[14:14] {Threei} no seriously
[14:14] {Threei} Earlier today the WSJ reported Levin was drafting legislation to prevent conflicts of interest by prohibiting companies from taking the opposite side of the deal for their own account, at least when they are marketing investments they have created themselves
[14:14] {Threei} how is it possible?
[14:15] {Les} no more deals... problem fixed
[14:16] {Les} Swedish finance minister Anders Borg says it is a case of keeping the wolves from the door. "We now see herd behaviours in the markets that are really pack behaviours, wolf-pack behaviours," he said. "And if we will not stop these packs, they will tear - even if it's self-inflicted weakness - they will tear the weaker countries apart."
[14:16] {dino} just wait until they come up w/idea that markets are not allowed to drop
[14:17] {Les} it does not merit asking why country is weak of course
[14:18] {Threei} I swear my grandfather was right, I was just too young and stupid to understand that...
[14:18] {Threei} he was confident the stupidity in the world is too gereat of a force to allow the humanity to survive
[14:18] {shorty} lol
