Mixed emotions. I have a ton of friends that work out of the Chciago office. MF bought my old firm out, along with a ton of others, including the old Geldermann, and GNP, and Refco. Legendary firm on the London commodity scene, for over 100 years. I even cleared Man for a few years. At any rate, another example of trying to be too many things to too many people. I'll always remember them as ED&F Man, 287...and not that MF Global crap...
Sad stories out of Chicago today. MF guys blocked entry onto the floor, those who got in before the lockout don't want to leave. Liquidate only order flow, but nobody "sees" any of the MF guys because they don't need the risk.

Longest running profitable managed funds, good clearing business, even respectable retail. Then you put politicians in charge, and without knowing it, the blundering fools pulled the pin on the grenade in their pocket.

Dow Jones : MF Bankruptcy has "devastated stock futures liquidity." Specifically, "MF Global's departure from the clearing scene has "devastated liquidity" in stock index futures, a long-time CME floor broker said. He estimated about a third of the pit population is missing. On a normal day, six or seven filling brokers stand on the top rail. That's down to three.

EDIT: Except in unusual instances, aircraft carrier captains are/were pilots. They tend to remember things like which way the wind is blowing, and why that matters.

it went up almost 50% higher then is should have.. i got a pending at 84.88... it may never get there. if it had done this naturally i would target 88.29.. but it didnt.. the mofu already stopped it.. i got an imaginary tl in the 84.88 area. but any of these levels could be fine. we may have already reached the top. i think we did before intervention.....
