I DON'T find this strange Nothing Strange here.
KJELD THYGESEN is a big-$$ resource OPM fund manager obviously caught up big in this story with undoubtedly personal money as well as client (OPM) money in limbo. He didn't get to this position of managing OPM by W.A.G./dart throwing, name the junior--without independent analysis from 3rd parties for which he's happy to shell out funds. It's S.O.P.
Rose on the other hand is ALSO in OPM business, Also S.O.P. for a whoop-$$ BROKER to C.Y.A. with major client book bucks in limbo.
My question is why S. Jackson was the "go to" guy. Anyone Investigating his- shall we say- "colorful regulatory scrapes' background" prior to his crafting this opinion which is now posted everywhere except on the local laudromat bulletin board, knows it is a bought and paid for opinion by large interests already committed to this story.
If you want to call this strange, that just tells me you weren't around when BRE-X flourished. This ain't nothing and doens't even register on the "strange" screen.
Rexx isn't anything but noise. However, his noise bought him and his ilk a seat at the table. Can't do anything about his having a seat at the table. Ditto Rose and KJELD THYGESEN. This whole thing resembles a packed World Poker Tour tourney in Vegas on starting day.
We're still several rumors let alone levels of machinations and planted stories/opinions/op eds. Oh, and let's not forget "SEEKING ALPHA" paid know-nothing shills, and the Miner rag from up north. Howe Street hasn't even begun to howl.
All that truly matters is the final face off between the last two colored up chips' players at the BGM final table. We know who one of the final 2 poker players is. As patient longs that's ALL we need to know and back.
Downhere stateside, April is not particularly a popular month due to the annual tax dance. However, I'm truly looking forward to April 2013. If we hear anything sooner, well, that's the breaks. April's AGM is still going to be party time.
Life is good.
