Whatamaroon, muddled those are great views. However look at the 3 month charts of stocks such as AIG, C, and BAC. Especially in AIG's case, a company which has excessive exec pay, bonuses from taxpayer money, abuse of TARP, we still see that investors line up and buy in regardless of the past. Investors often forget about the past real quick as the stock starts to rise again.
In no way is MF even close to those companies (in his mistakes). He surely has made some mistakes however in his defense he was focused too much on closing the deal(s) and didn't have the $$$ to hire the competent employees to keep the financials in check over here. Hopefully that changes soon.
All great views and I'm just offering another way to look at things. Here's to trading soon.
