Dixie succintly summed it up tonight on the finance news. "The Australian Stock Market today fell more than 3 per cent on a short trading day". Relatively new to this game, but it seems a pity it's not more about investing than trading and shorting. My brother sent me a classic e-mail with cartoon characters explaining the sub-prime crisis. Can't help but shake my head at the shenanigans going on in the corporate finance arena.
