Yea I can't say that you're wrong. But if one or two more people are contaminated it's a wrap and these stocks explode.

Not that I'm wishing for it to happen, it's just seeing the potential in turning lemons to lemonade I guess. I cant tell you how many people I saw on facebook talking about ebola yesterday. sh1t is real and everybody would rather be over prepared at this point.

The company I work for sells disposable gloves and infection control products so in a sense I'm used to seeing the profitability in the disease, as sad as that sounds

Right, no I completely agree there. That if is very real on that one. I'm just saying all Ebolastocks were nothing but overnight hype that flat out died in the first 10 trading min, and it was clear that ppl just took their profits and nothing major there..Charts looking like shyt. Whoever has some throwaway cash though, will not be dumb at all to buy TKMR and HEB on Friday around close.

That's a rather grimm job you got, lol

It is, ya. I mean most of the time we're dabbling in mundane stuff like food service or automotive repair, but we also sell to hospitals, nursing homes, dentals and other more sensitive areas

and let me tell you bruh, the ebola scare is blowing up over here. we're a wholesaler and we just completely sold out of our face masks and flocklined gloves because of governmental contracts and institutions amping up their prevention measures. money is being tossed around like you wouldn't believe

leads me to think these ebola stocks can and will go apeshyt any time there is news on the horizon

Everything comes to an end. If the protest in Hong Kong end in violence I don't want to imagine the fallout(I doubt Beijing wants to find out).

I read the rebels in Donetsk are staging a breakout and are probably going to retake the airport there. What that means for the markets... :manny:

I would imagine Putin is running out of options except militarily. Which would be a shyt show.

I really can't get my head around the Argentina thing. It's not a particularly large sum of money. I remember last year I asked one of my friends who is a professor and expert on Latin America if Kirchner is sane and he was taken aback.

Ebola isn't helping either....

With the way energy has taken a beating and considering Russia's standing in the world... been looking at OGZPY.

Trading at 0.27 P/B right now.

Should be able to triple or quadruple your money over the next few years... assuming we don't get into WWIII.

:ld:

Also... just saw Athlon Energy is getting bought up. Major shareholder is Apollo, also a major holder of my EP Energy. Get to work on this bytch.

Japan stocks rattled by $617bn 'fat finger' trading error

Japan's stock markets were rattled after a trading error caused more than $600bn (£370bn) worth of orders to be made and then cancelled.

An anonymous broker entered an over-the-counter trade for 42 stocks before swiftly cancelling it on Wednesday.

The transaction affected huge volumes of shares in blue-chip stocks such as Toyota Motors, Honda and Nomura.

Japan's Securities Dealers Association (JSDA) confirmed the mistake.

"A member company traded 42 issues at the off-exchange transaction at 09:25 on 1 Oct, 2014," JSDA said in an emailed statement. "This was, however, their error."

"After all of these reports were cancelled at 09:43, the revised correct report was made at 13:44".

The so-called "fat finger" mistake, which refers to a human error made by mis-typing a trade, was for an order worth more than the size of Sweden's economy.

The biggest order was for 1.96 billion shares of Toyota Motors for 12.68 trillion yen. The trading error didn't have an impact on the markets.

Japan is the world's second-biggest equities market after the US
However, some previous incidents have resulted in severe consequences.

In 2012, US market-maker Knight Capital Group almost went bankrupt after it lost more than $450m when its computers made erroneous orders that couldn't be undone. The firm was later sold.

Japan is the world's second-biggest equities market and has seen an exponential increase in the amount of trading done electronically.

A lot of electronic trading takes place off its exchanges, or over-the-counter, and orders to buy or sell stocks are submitted and withdrawn regularly.

Brokers are required to file a report within five minutes if there is an error. However, the size of Tuesday's cancellation was unusual and took traders by surprise.

Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell by 0.6% on Tuesday, but its decline has been attributed to poor economic data.
