wall - they were basing a lot of their short strategies on rumor
rumors of firms in trouble rumors of firms who have margin calls or who need cash
and then selling some in advance of the firm selling to get cash
even if its a tiny position of 10-50k shares. imagine having a big asset mgr lean on a stock to raise cash quickly and you're short the position already

While in the car driving on the road trip I heard a discussion about Bear puts being bought down to the 35s and 30s earlier this week when the stock was over 50. From closing prices that would be a 10 bagger or so depending on when you bought.
With numbers that big (55k) someone might be going to the clink for inside info..

Wall, that was also pointed out on CNBC.."lucky trade" indeed.
Not on Bear but from a newsletter, and I wonder the same thing ..anyone got any real solid answer to the question posed?
As you
know, the Federal Reserve has begun to accept private mortgages as
collateral for 28-day loans, furthering its policy of expanding
allowable collateral that began last August.
Here's
what I want to know: How can borrowing more money against dodgy
collateral help these businesses, which are on the verge of bankruptcy
precisely because they've borrowed heavily already against these
mortgage assets? If anyone can explain to me how allowing Freddie Mac
and Fannie Mae to borrow still more money (they're already leveraged 28
times and 18 times, respectively) is likely to help their shareholders,
please take the time to explain.

We believe JPMorgan Chase could ultimately be the most vulnerable.
And we believe this
may help explain why JPMorgan Chase was the Wall Street firm that
emerged as a participant in the Bear Stearns rescue on Friday.
But you don't have to take our word for it. Nor do you have to look very far to validate our view. All you have to do is ...

Take
one look at who's at the top of that chart — JPMorgan Chase — and see
for yourself the unimaginably large quantities of derivatives it is
trading.
