    SEC Shorting Restrictions: Are Some Banks Being Set Up? [view article]
    What is interesting is that ten of the nineteen or 53% are Foreign Banks!

    Then you have the GSE's so actually 60% of the Commercial Banks protected by The SEC are controlled Foreign Bank shareholders.

    How blatantly bias can the SEC be? If they did their job for the past ten years instead of being controlled by the "Street", which actually they always have been but not so blatantly, none of this would be necessary.

    For your readers who are not aware of this, the Federal Reserve Board does not examine banks. The Comptroller of the Currency (Treasury), FDIC (which is a government corporation financed by bank insurance premiums, and the various state regulators. So when you see the media and politicians complaining about the Fed's audit of banks (banks do have "independent"... auditors, which is a farce) they patently do not know of what they speak.

    Selective Enforcement: (Re)Introducing Regulation SHO [view article]
    Great article. the most obvious and blatant display ever of whose interests the SEC is really protecting. The SEC ought to be abolished. the exemption reasons given in reg SHO for naked shorting may apply for a day or two. But HOW can they justify that stocks stay for months and years on Reg SHO lists? for market making purpose? sure.
    it's a giant crime and a shame. The usa is more of a developing country and a banana republic type of market when it comes to create a level playing field in the stock markets.     Reply

    As I pointed out elsewhere after that weird SEC-announcement: naked shorts ON Goldman get banned - but naked shorts BY Goldman do not.
    This is by far the most stunning display of financial apartheid ever displayed by the sec. they should abolish that institution alltogether as it is only catering to wallstreet's needs anyway.     Reply

    Yes it is true that fast moving markets (Electronic Trading Where Momentum Is Beyond Human Ability to Process) decimates the old process of the floor specialist maintaining an orderly flow of "actual stocks" (those that exist in their account and which are not wished into existence by way of Electronic-Hide-and-Go... see: www.sec.gov/news/speec... a tutorial on record keeping.). The question is one of speed. The speed of electronic trading has made the markets a bit of a shell game. Reply

    "Who is missing?"

    This is a typical SEC use of "moral suasion" rather than attacking a problem with prosecutorial zeal. The big financial institutions aren't where the problem short sellers are making their money. Those institutions have way too much float for the common short seller to move the market significantly. The big institutions just have more friends in high places to listen to their complaints and rationalizations about their stock prices.

    The real problem is with the smaller financial institutions. Anyone with a short position can come on Seeking Alpha and publish an article replete with factual errors and poor research and find a big enough following to make a dent in the smaller institutions stock price. If the SEC would quit telling everyone they don't have enough manpower to police naked shorts and just do it they could eliminate most of the problem. A substantial portion of the stock shorted today is either naked or the same shares borrowed two or three times over.

    Please note: Selling short by itself is not the problem. The problem is: 1) the people who propagate false information and rumors in order to profit from short sales; 2) selling short stock without having legitimately borrowed it first; and 3) investors who are long a stock held in a broker name need to realize that its not in their best interest to allow the broker to lend that stock to short sellers.

    Thanks for this article. Now I know why my usual day trading strategy for WM was not working today. They were not moving with the rest of the pack as indicated by the RKH and XLF ETFs. Reply

    Selective Enforcement: (Re)Introducing Regulation SHO [view article]
    ALL transactions on the market should be restricted to verification/documenta... of actual capital/ownership in hand.... whether it is short selling or just plain borrowing money from a bank on a personal loan to buy stock.. This liquidity is of no benefit when compared to the artificial infaltion it creates and how it devalues currency..... If person "A" has $50 and he loans it to person "B", and person "B" loans it to Person "C", and you keep this cycle up, but each loan is agreed to upon the basis of interest and with penalties..... the Market records each of these transactions as individual $50 purchases.... after ten people you have a total transaction history of $500.... but $450 is hypothetical.... it doesn't exist except on the Market..... then, you have the SPECULATIVE Interset that is to be gained added in for a higher dollar amount.... This is pure and simple Loan Sharking...... These very methods of transactions have left numerical imprints upon the Market as a whole that there is more American Dollars in Circulation than is actual, since 2000, it looks like the Fed has increase the number of dollars into circulation by 70%, thus a devalued dollar, Artificial Inflation.... that means that stock that went up to $175 per share, then split to $87.50 per share, has only an actual value of $26.25...
    this is why I advocate that those in the business of Finance and Markets be themselves more regulated more restricted, and the same restriction that would follow along the lines of the American Bar Association, or states' Bar associations.... Use of the Media be totally Prohibited, companies can only advertise a specific product without mention of the company as a business except to make historical notes of achievements, No mention on the News, Internet, or any media of a Company's Financial holdings (SEC requests for information screened and limited to licensed persons and with fees - no one company to be able to hold an umbrella license to cover all it's employees down to the receptionists), operations, stock, etc... through any form of media... those employed in the profession be licensed with stringent testing and continued education requirements as Attorneys are, without licensing all other person's restricted from giving opinions, or performing anything more than paperwork and records keeping....... Yes, Hundreds of firms would close tommorrow, thousands would loose their jobs, oops, American's retirements/investment... would be safer, and these firms and people that would be gone.... they need to be gone anyway, it would just be a taste of the job loses they've caused in their mismanagement and ruthless illegal deeds... the cream would rise to the top... Click on my Name "QUESTIONABLE&quo... and read the posts I have made to other articles.... everything going on can be traced back to a group of less than ten people....this usually is a sign of a conspiracy....could it be treasonable????? to a specific set of dates.... Now we will watch the barrel of oil fall to $100, and HOLD..... just like they did before, when Congressional Investigations are hot on the their heals, they retreat a little bit to quell the angry masses, then when it's quiet they surge past where they were, only to do this again and again.... HOLD at $100...??? Let's see?????     Reply

    Finally the SEC realized the destructive nature of speculative naked short selling (= self-fulfilling prophecy?)
    Better late than never.
    When will other agencies apply similar braking to oil and other commodity trading? Why have they sat on their hands so far? Is it due to the 'influence' of the trading 'mafia'?     Reply

    SEC Moves Aggressively On Short Sellers {Housing Tracker] [view article]
    Free market bashing has been going on from the beginning of capitalism. Marxists have called capitalists "moneybags" and other derogatory things from 1850 to the present.

    Most people answer by saying that socialism is simply rule by intellectuals who form bureaucracies from which to wield their power. That's why the average person thinks an intellectual is, by definition, a "liberal" or, when they take power, a communist.

    When businessmen are in power, the rules of the game are economics and finance and the referees are various government agencies. Intellectuals are reduced to being referees.

    When socialists are in control bureaucrats like the Harvard professors take control and their rules are similar to the rules of any other bureaucracy: work hard and move up in the bureaucracy.

    But the vices of socialism seem to be the same as the vices of capitalism but reversed:

    As John Kenneth Galbraith joked: Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Socialism is the reverse.

    Which is it going to be?

    Writedowns and Capital Raised by Financial Firms [view article]
    Yep, I'd like to see a comparison of C and WM showing total loan portfolio vs % of writedowns. WM should have the same or more bad loans as C as a % of total, especially since most of their loans are on the west coast and Florida. It that is true then there is no way they can survive and their recent statements regarding sufficient liquidity should send their board to jail. Reply

    The hunt for manipulators is a diversion to avoid looking at the racketeers who set up the financial trap. They should look in Congress where many corrupt members have been in bed with the GSE management for years, Congress got donations, trips etc, and the GSE got programs from Congress to underwrite more and different loans, not mention Fortune 500 salaries. The upshot? We have a mutually corrupt agency and Congress. Franklin Raines from Seattle settled his corruption charges and has walked away leaving the US citizen holding the bag. And Congress? They are planning ACT II when they give Ben the bucks to fix the GSE capital and "run new programs". Forget the stock shorts and look at the moral shorts in Congress and at the Agencies. PS; Naked short selling was always illegal, and nondelivery of shares was illegal, and manipulation per se is not illegal unless coupled with an intent to obstruct the Federal statutes. I have been practicing 40 years and that is damned near impossible. So the SEC search is just a hoax to divert the sheriff.
