    No Quick Recovery for Stock Markets [view article]
    Manipulations in the stock market , feeding in expense of the US economy , are the fuel of the vicious cycle that spirals into an eventual financial destruction .

    Naked shorting , an unlawful manipulation , where short sellers may borrow astronomic amounts of stock shares for selling while the lenders have only samll quantities of those .

    The well capitalized short sellers may drive down any stock to any low point , for the fact that there are unlimited supply of stocks to borrow .

    Drastic drops would naturally attract panic sales at a loss .

    The average investors would lost heavily and some of my friends once well to do , consequently , fell behind in their mortgage payment .

    Foreclosures jumped more than double since October , 2007 when the financials started to fall .

    Should the financials be made to fall by naked shorting , while the rescue plan being legislated , the confidence of the average investors would be completely destroyed .

    The financials and thereby the economy of USA would then be routed to destruction .

    This is the crucial time to buy against the short sellers .

    SEC made " emergency measures " to curb naked shorting but nullified its effect by exempting market makers to the measures .

    Financials fell drastically while the Bush Administration stated that the rescue plan would be legislated .

    The drastic drops strongly support that naked shortings are still very active .

    Average investors invest in the future and thereby would not sell at the said announcement by the Administration .

    The US economy cannot turn around unless the naked shorting can be eliminated .

    SEC can simply require delivery of the borrowed stock shares within one or two days .

    The lenders have to have the stock shares to be delivered .

    Naked shorting would then be naturally be extinguished without any extra paper work or confusion .

    Why does SEC not using such simple but effective measure to curb naked shorting ? We don't know .

    Buy against short sellings until SEC put its acts togather .

    Everytime the Re-cains yell about the WAR in Iraq --- It's like shoving a empty fifth of whiskey in front of a person - that see's the empty bottle and wonders why he drank it all - the whole bottle - and now wonders - what he did - and is scared as - "you know what" - of hearing about what he did.

    Shame is a very powerful catalyst - To anger - and Now the American People are totally pissed - about - There jobs - there housing - gas and food prices.

    Now who does that man - that has that bottle shoved in his face in the morning after? Right at the person shoving it into his face.

    The neo-cains and the re-cains - are just lucky the American People believe in - WE THE PEOPLE - Otherwise - It wouldn't be hard to - have them all run-out of the Country - Just like Cuba did.

    I also believe the British pound is going to depreciate, at least against the Euro and some Asian currencies, is there a cost-effective way for an ordinary investor to short the pound? Reply

    obviously you don't believe in the supply/demand equation.

    Do you actually believe the world's supply of dollars is going to shrink ... any time soon??     Reply

    Reckoning without the US Congress again? They will race any currency to the down side with bailouts profligate spending and shear criminal corruption. The SE Asian currencies may devalue a little, particularly NZ, but the dollar will be held back by USA policies to have the cake and eat it too. As for the Euro, who knows if it even survives this next five years. You are short sided. Reply

    last one, you are the one waiting euro/yen 170 at the end of the year and shorting the euro? the only way for that happen is a collapse on yen too = big carry trade, so you are very bullish on the US$ at the end. Only with Reagans resurrection... Reply

    Kathy,

    for sure the germans dont like inflation and they are willing to accept less growth in 2009, that means a strong euro for some more time, even against high spending southern neighbours. Agreed on NZD it was a bubble, oil bubble looks to be correcting so the UK has not incentive to stop inflation fight, you need some perspective, not jumping in all the ships.

    Kathy!!

    Hey, I like the insight you give, albeit brief, but I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis... you were on Wall St. Warriors, weren't you? I remember seeing you on a few episodes, great to see you collaborating on this site. What do you think of Brazil's currency at this point? With the 75 bps raise yesterday defending against inflation, the currency seems relatively safe compared with others, but I recent article I read from Soc Gen has me concerned about the long term P/E valuations in most of the emerging markets. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!     Reply

    U.S. Markets: Is it Time to Throw Caution to the Wind? [view article]
    With 30 years in the corporate world I have yet to see a one page report that told the full story.
    Executives that demand one pagers normally have their minds made up in advance, right or wrong.
    Reports should be long enough to cover the subject matter.
    They should not be defined by some arbitrary limit.
    Excellent article.     Reply

    You made a good point FRIEND. This is a gods and clods economy with the middle being squeezed into the clods category. The story always end up the same though, the clods all get together and overthrow the gods, an external enemy brings down the gods or the money runs out from the clods making the clods Bastille party that much easier. I am disgusted about our socialism for the rich government, but all things do change. Empires do receed but most find there way as permanent cultures, ours will be no different. Reply

    Dear quetzalcoatl,

    I let most misspellings and bad grammar go. This one was just funny. But it sure makes it hard to take the article seriously when it starts off that way. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people who write for a living to use the language correctly.     Reply

    After witnessing a 60-year bull market in America, with some relatively minor corrections, monsieur du Plessis can be forgiven.

    Yes Virginia, America won World War II. But that was 63 years ago.

    If Prieur is French (he must be because with a name like that he never would have survived American middle school,) we have to forgive his spelling. If any of us could write French as well as he writes English, we would be rich already and wouldn't be posting here.

    Zut alors.     Reply
