It is shocking how bad things got.. the dow lost 2200 points from Jan 2nd; thats a loss of 50 points every day it is trading. Stocks fared worse; for example, X got cut in half in february.

Today´s pound crash is foretelling dark things to come. The pound even lost against the EUR, which should be supposedly weak after the EU declined help for Eatern Europe.

Looking at some berkshire arbitrage. As far as I understand, is the B 1/30 of A. today, B fell farther and is out of line with As price. So, shorting one A share and buying 30 B shares should be a nearly sure gain? Any comments?

The A is off 4300; divided by 30 this is 143.3, but B is off 179
