I for one am 75% convinced we will never know what happened. Here are the possibilities. 1) Some bank was in deep deep sht on derrivatives and needed a cash miracle to get out of it 2) Some major brokerage house was so deep under water selling puts that a meltup was required to prevent them from going broke 3) Greenspan is just plain fcking nuts 4) A major bankruptcy is coming soon and the markets needed to be propped up first Obviously we will only know if it is number 4 and the news hits soon. Even then we will wonder if was not a combination of factors. M
