Slowleee, slowleee, catcheee monkeee.

A skillful pro can probably distribute ten or twenty thousand ES contracts before the market opens tomorrow -- but obviously not all at once. You have to tease those bids onto your screen ever so carefully . . . :D

More likely front-running than stop-running. Niki's down > 300.

As we speak the spx and the dollar-yen are headed down. If you are using carried money, you have to be a tad scared sh*tless.

In that case, you just do what you gotta do. For those hedgehogs who borrowed in yen to buy the subprime crap their prime brokers have been securitizing, the choice is simple. Since there is no bid for subprime paper right now (and I mean no bid at all -- as in zippo, nada), and since every time the yen ticks up the loan you leveraged 6 or 8 or 20 to 1 gets more expensive to repay, you sell what you can sell. And guess what that is? :D

OK, now someone help me out. The dollar yen relationship took a similar dive in Dec 05 while the SPX consolidated. It also took a similar magnitude drop between Oct-Dec 2006 and the SPX rose.
