What do utterly immoral people do, when they know the end is unavoidable, say a terminal diagnosis individually, or for an example writ large, a mile wide asteroid is going to hit in a month? Go on a wild spending spree, fuelling all manner of orgies and gluttony?

That’s what this looks like to me. Get it while you can.

To make it simple. The margin rate is 50% when buying or selling stocks. However the use of futures drops that rate to about 5%. It is the use of futures on the S&P, Dow, Bonds etc that allow for massive leverage. It is 8 AM do you know where your hedge fund manager is.
Thought 2 - In all my years as a broker I never saw anyone nailed for insider trading when selling short!
Thought 3 - Goldman Sucks etc using the above are nothing less than pirates. LOL
