MAJOR Victory for #OccupyWallStreet http://maxkeiser.com/2011/11/11/major-victory-for-occupywallstreet/
MaxKeiser: Congratulations Occupy Wall Street. You’re Officially Making Companies Scared. http://www.businessinsider.com/congratulations-occupy-wall-street-youre-officially-making-companies-scared-2011-11
(B.I.) "The CME Group, which runs the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is out with its 10-Q filing and the Occupy Wall Street movement is included in the report". [Footnoted via Dealbook]
"It appears the Occupy Wall Street movement has garnered enough attention to be considered a new “risk factor” for the company, according to the regulatory filing."
Any time any bank/broker/company has to file a document with the words ‘risk factor’ in it – means you’re winning. They have shifted the risk of their business onto you… Now you have to return the favor. This is fantastic.
As the major market place and significant enablers of "toxic derivatives" CME should be feeling a bit of heat from the victims of their predatory customer base.
Turn about is fair prey.
If they regulate their customer base to keep it from destroying America economically and financially they will get only the praise of americans like OWS. If they continue to support the economic warfare being waged against America's middle-class by their customer base by not regulating the predatory practices of CME customers then they deserve whatever happens to them.
Tough love!

Markets! Finance! Scandal! Debt Wielding Psychopaths! Max Keiser and CoHost Stacy Herbert discuss:
European gold wars and the brokers at the Chicago Board of Trade telling others to get a job while they can’t even do the one job they have. MF Global and their clients saying that Money Safeguards failed them, and other bank news.
In the second half of the show, Max Keiser interviews James G. Rickards about his new book – Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis.
Fantastic. Really? You have to be more than just making companies consider you a risk.
You're definitely a risk to the businesses around Zuocotti Park, and they've laid off dozens of employees. Way to go!
Maybe they should try selling ponchos, gloves, raincoats etc, for the time being. Any good business person should be prepared to adapt their business to the demands/needs of the public.
Here is their chance to show their entrepreneurial skills
You are clueless and no concept of running a business.
How does a restaurateur sell ponchos and raincoats? That's not their business. They have no supplier. They have skills and business experience preparing food and serving it to customers. Not every business can do everything.
Why don't you show us your skills by going out and getting a fucking job. "Adapt" as you say.
I am on my way to work right now, soon as I click send. (Im only part time OWS unfortunately) I'll have to respond to any further insults, presumptions and other unfounded commentary that you are going to contribute here after the world is through with me.
Have a beautiful day, jay
