    NOT a conspiracist...really...BUT these friggin' sell programs have to be forced liquidations. Every bounce gets hammered in to with TICKs locked on -1400+ like  past few minutes. Hour after hour like clockwork...and Preferred stocks and CEFs being pounded on even worse than during  financial crises -- 50-80%+ discounts...$25 preferred  at less than $4-5? C'mon.... Anybody hearing anything that justifies this bs? Venting...yes. But you guys have been around and I trust your opinions....so thanks in advance.

    Probably over the next couple

    Probably over the next couple of weeks/months we will read about firms that had MBS and over leveraged,  The fed buying bonds and backstopping has created significant losses to mortgage firms that sell puts as insurance against the originated mortgages (I might not be 100% accurate on this but there is something going on in that space that has created significant margin calls from what I have read).
