How F'd up is this statement.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- U.S. stock futures popped Friday as investors digested a better-than-expected downward revision of second-quarter economic growth.

Lunacy I tell you, pure lunacy. Oh, it's bad, but not that bad, so let's party.

By 4 PM, the Dow will be red. Wanna bet?

[Havakasha]

I would be shocked if it wasnt red at the end of today.

Who said the market is sane? oh i think its all those free marketers who think its truly a free market.

At least I know to use "I" instead of "i" lol. I was hoping you would take me up on the bet.

[Havakasha]

Yeah i know that damn I. i quess i am just too self effacing (unlike john). LOL.
OK. i will say the Nasdaq and Dow end up.
I was going to wait till 3:59 to bet but you called me out.

[SiriuslyLong]

Yeah, the market appears to be solidly green at this point. All this "good news" is killing my short positions lol. C'mon Hindenburg Omen, kick in.

Hey, the economy sucks, let's buy!!! Then I suppose it's time for me to sell something lol.

[SiriuslyLong]

This was the strangest action between yesterday bouncing off .96, closing at .99, then today's late sell-off back to .96 after flat lining all day at .9972 -3. It just sucks that someone has this much control over which direction they want to take the stock. Us retailers have no say at all.

And now up 3 on very high volume. SIRI may crack 200 MM shares traded today.

The MM's pay for their summer rentals at the Hamptons with these synthetic 3-cent swings . . bastards

[Sirius Roadkill]

Yep, waiting to become "Sirius Roadkill" -

Well done SXM . . . very well done!

It is quite amazing how the MM's slight-of-hand can make $0.02 disappear . . . then magically reappear right before your eyes. The past couple of trading sessions have been classic now-you-see-it-now-you-don't.

I see your point: $0.03 x 200,000,000 = $6,000,000. Not bad for a days work.

Hey S&L what do i get for winning the bet?
Oh, and im sure John totally predicted the market would go up today since we
all know he has a crystal ball. LMFAO.
