Don´t blame it on Continental Philosophy…
Blame it on the kind of economics that gets taught at most universities.

Vying for bottom-rung with journalists in this business are the economists..

Nietzsche comes out of this quite well…

If your company was profitable and well run then you could crush any bear raid (see VW). Bear raids (cash equity) tend to pick off the weak among the flock and even then hardly result in catastrophe for the company (save the management with vested stock options who should learn how to run a better “show”)

Show me a company where a bear raid (cash equity) has resulted in firm failure. Show me a firm that went bankrupt that did not deserve to, due to a cash equity bear raid. These “raids” are temporary and if the firm has any real value it will rip open the bears. Its that simple.

The real problem is CDS and their impact on credit – not equity prices. If you really need to flap your arms and spew hot air about a topic that may, MAY, have a positive impact, look into that realm.

Otherwise, STFU and run your company efficiently and profitably – do this and you will never have to worry about equity bear raids.

Banners, t-shirts, emails to your friends who email their friends, etc., the cockroaches scurry when they are exposed as they need to hide under a rock and if we remove the rocks, they will lose every time.

I write “http://www.deepcapture.com” on my money (an IOU from the privately owned Federal Reserve, that’s why it says “Federal Reserve Note” on it, which means it is an IOU from them to you), which I think is funny on so many levels, but if even one person follows my link, then writes the same URL on their money, then we have them.

More likely is that perhaps Blodget’s legal representation is comprised of D-for-diploma students… I suppose stranger things have happened.

Most likely IMHO is that it was an attempt at a set up; a feeble attempt but hostile nonetheless.

I was commenting on those, wondering if it was the very same chanos. I’m assuming it is…

No, that was not a trap, unless Blodget is stupid as well as a jerk. It was his cover because he never intended to publish Patrick’s stuff and he knew Patrick would never sign.

Here’s a bit from Henry’s past he’d rather not talk about:

Henry Blodget is a cold, calculating Wall Street insider and is not to be trusted. After reading this post, it seems extremely likely that the noted differences in indemnification verbiage was designed, quite simply, to set a trap for you Dr. Byrne. I’m glad you’re careful. Is this little bit of mischief very different from the chicanery that was the norm at Merrill ?

A pox on you Henry Blodget.

No one takes ol ‘enry serious anyway
