Just what I was thinking. Perhaps when the fallout from Madoff is known, we'll have a different reaction. I am stunned that the market is shrugging it off like "oh well".

Yes and the short stuff like SRS turned red on this.... SRS traded some pieces at 114 pre hours. Still the market is not running so far, recently.

Madoff sold a lot of equity market neutral fund called "Primeo Select", as well as Herald Fund. Must be several billions ot ouf European coffers. The fund showed a 7% return with practically zero volatility. So far, the authorities in Europe are still sleeping and not investigating the banks involved with Madoff. This will change.

First dead bodies are floating in the madov case: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Madoff Fund Operator De La Villehuchet Found Dead in New York Email \| Print \| A A A By Saijel Kishan and Katherine Burton Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet, who ran a fund that invested with Bernard Madoff, was found dead at his Madison Avenue office today, a New York City police officer at the scene said. The death appeared to be a suicide, he said. De la Villehuchet, 65, was a founding partner and chief executive officer of Access International Advisors, according to a marketing document. Access invested $1.4 billion with Madoff, who was arrested on Dec. 11 for allegedly running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Access’s LUXALPHA SICAV-American Selection invested solely with Madoff, the company said. Access said last week that it was working with lawyers to assess the situation. No one answered the phone at the company today. A call to his home wasn’t returned.
