tomthetrader: we abused thesystem ..not you and I but the overall public wanted too much home for too little $$$$$$$$$$
tomthetrader: I just want the uptick rule reinstated
(12:35 PM) ctmhou: Again, when I bought my home in 1987, they wanted collateral before I bought.
tomthetrader: SEC Shapiro can do that in a press conference today
(12:36 PM) TraderTim: no one complained while homes were going up and 401K's rose. This is a education issue on "wealth" and needs to be taught in public schools
tomthetrader: 20% is what I have put down on all the homes I have owned except the last one
(12:36 PM) ctmhou: ABSOLUTELY, Tim. I have said that for ten years.
(12:36 PM) TraderTim: I would love if my little boy would get a class called RISK 101 at some point in his schooling . . . if not, I will bring him on to TTT chat and we will teach him

tomthetrader: 30Year much more important /

tomthetrader: Bad auction hurts stocks one piece i am reading now
tomthetrader: BOG hang in there ...should be a decent trade
(1:12 PM) arujunaa: it went as expected. now people will set up for 30s. in fact it was a very FAIR auction which means that bonds are acting rationally now. i see any weakness over next 24/48 hours as a good buying opp. btw, i hate santelli. he's an idiot
(1:14 PM) arujunaa: the pain trade will be to rally into tomorrow's auction. bonds probably trade a little more off of stocks for rest of today
