Mq: I did not claim that: <me: Yes, but this does not support your assertion that flash crashes and longer term crashes are the same. >

C2 highlighted your quote in his post:

HFT Flash Crashes are special opportunities which are had to catch when they are short. But sometimes they are deep and wide as in 2008 when there were lovely profits to be made, and I did.

So, does the “they” in “they are deep and wide” refer to the flash crashes or the special opportunities? It’s not clear from the sentence.

However, in another post you say:

“You might not think of the 1998 one as a flash crash, but the financial relativity theory mechanisms are the same as the quick little ones. In the 1998 flash crash, the margin calls were spread across millions of people and measured in the $trillions. It was the biggest ever flash crash.

Mq:Yes, I'm saying you only read about the CAUSE of flash crashes from me. The correct cause.

In that case, you’re delusional.<g> I starting thinking more about this possibility after this gem:
<Horgad: If you seriously think that you will get your wishes of not having any messes and having delicious potable water while leaving the corporations to police themselves, you are delusional. > Mq: If you seriously think that I think that, then you are delusional.

There is no one else on this board that gets anywhere near as delusional as you seem to be at times. I want to assume that you’re just having some fun, but I’m unsure.
