Occupy Wall St. Plans To Shut Down Stock Exchange On Thursday, Nov. 17

Could get very interesting.

Occupy Wall Street has targeted opposition events, interrupted a presidential candidate and shut down a major port. Now they want to shut down the New York Stock Exchange on Nov. 17 to mark the two-month anniversary of their protest. Protesters vow “a block party the 1% will never forget.”

According to a post on Facebook, “On the morning of November 17, we will shut down Wall Street. We will ring the People’s Bell, and initiate a street carnival in which we rebuild and celebrate the neighborhoods that the Wall Street economy has destroyed.”

LOL, stock market is symbolism of free market economy

I have a new name for OWS

Knee-jerk revolution

The stock market is also the symbol of greed & slimy people.

A fixed market is more like it.

I don't agree

There are always rigged games, zero sum games but main purpose for stock market is to finance free enterprises. IPOs have always been the best job creator. Where will capitalists go if they need to raise money, government?

What needs to be shut down is derivative market, which is unproductive and risky. But don't expect OWS to do anything about it. Because what they want is attention, attention and attention.

We don't have free enterprise any longer.

This is a rigged game, and rigged games are called insider trading and Ponzi schemes.

I think this is a little overstretched.

We have had same thing from day one. There were insider trading and ponzi schemes even long before Federal Reserve took over, and arguably more and and lot more than today.

you serious..?

i trade from time to time with my own money.. that is not for you or ows to decide whether i can trade on that day, because some crook also happens to be participating at the same time. there are doctors participating in medicare fraud. why don't we ban all medical services.

Celente also trades with his own money. What happened to him?

He gone burned badly. They are protesting because no one has gotten arrested excepted except Madoff. Be careful playing this market.

looks to me that...

The plunge has already begun with today's trading. The S&P Futures will most likely see a close under 12,000 tomorrow (possibly overnight). A close below 1185.00 tomorrow will really bring trouble for longs....smile.

Good!

Maby they can go get a hair cut.

I love liberty like fresh cool air in my lungs.I love freedom like fresh cool water on my tongue.I love peace like the smooth skin of my sweet lady.And Dr.Ron Paul is the hero I believe will change the world.

Dad? Is that you?

The Market is set to crash. Will they blame OWS?

Is the purpose of OWS to destroy capitalism and free markets?

A corrupt market eventually collapses on its own as fraud and theft go unchecked.

If OWS want to take the blame for what Wall Street is doing to themselves, I think they are foolish.

Free includes debt-free!

OWS doesn't have a choice, IMO. This is being forced.

They have been removed from camping in this publicly-funded Zuccotti Park, unconstitutionally IMO.

The first judge that gave restraining order protection to OWS was replaced by Bloomberg. The new judge just said the new ruling to remove OWS cannot be overturned.

Bloomberg is forcing violence. He is strong-arming the OWS Movement.
Bloomberg: "The First Amendment gives New Yorkers the right to speak out, but it does not give them the right to camp out in a tent." He also emphasized that "no right is absolute."

The OWS movement is at a crossroads. I hope that the choice will not involve peaceful versus violent protests or Kent State, steroid-crazed police brutality.

OWS at the Crossroads
By ANDREW ROSENTHAL

The occupy has ideals on the opposite end of TeaGOP.

They both do not have the core causes figured out yet.

However, I give the occupy points for activism.

We just need to keep working our message to both those groups.

Between OWS and the Tea Party is Ron Paul right in the middle!

He is equidistant from either of these extremes, like he is with the so-called Dems. and the Repugs., left and right, and liberals and conservatives.

However, none of these groups ever heard of the word "Liberty." That word is missing from all of their vocabularies.

YES!!!

well said. I agree.

Yes, that is true.

The lady who runs the Rochester NY 912 group actually stated in her email to me that "the Liberty Movement has failed".

This blew me away. What the hell could she be for then?

I guess she is for the Non-Liberty Movement!

That kind of movement is what we have now, IMO. These people are worse than asleep. They're cyborgs.

How novel...an actual discussion on OWS

that isn't pervaded with spamming trolls. Nice.

Thanks. There is more "discussion" above.

No troll here.

lol ...

Yeah, been pointing that us RP people are waiting for both ends to get the noses to the grindstone and start studying to get to the core causes instead of playing on the surface with the affects.

Actually, this occupy thing just might help get TeaGOP'rs to see the light quicker ...

Wait till they use the hell out this one to rape the 401k's

Of all of those protestors...

In electronic trading today (there is no more open call) the market dropped more than 500 points recovering 50 points back before the close. Traders are said to be nervous about tomorrow's prospects...

Then why are they smiling daddy? Daddy...what's a PUT? Honey! Tell Jr. about Covered Calls...

That's ironically funny

Occupy thinks it is going to rally against wall street and teach it a lesson, while wall street already has the game plan together to make billions off of Occupy's plan.

LOL

Exactly!

I'll be hovering over my charts as well...big smile. The best trade will be the surge off the bottom as the bag holders fill up and then go.
