    excellent writing! been saying its only a matter of time before the berlin boys find the bigboy stocks far more liquid and profitable on naked shorting. and with the reg sho factor, it shows the fed/sec only cares when it impacts their stock options lmao. we are gonna get to witness a market without shorts waiting for bull exhaustion to wipe out down the road. next the berlin boys will just move to other sectors,,,,,our fed/sec can not control 'the global markets',,, oil has proven that.

    Short Sales: SEC Turns Back the Clock to 1931 [view article]
    The SEC ought to be abolished for this preferential treatment of wallstreet. They are banning naked short sales ON wallstreet's banks and brokers - but they are allowing any naked short BY them on any stock they desire to continue. Go figure. Reply

    Not that I am a big fan of his, but didn't the CEO of Overstock.com complain about this ad nauseum and all he got was ridiculed, maybe he was right? Reply

    Its obvious the banking crisis is way overdone...stocks like Banner Bank in Seattle for example has had less problems and is profitable and the stock took a great hit for no reason...by the way the dividend is over 8 percent and probably will remain so...take that in your pipe and smoke it..

    The Fed along with the Government did everything they could to engender capitulation last week. As far as the the whole short-selling debacle goes, where do you draw the line. I was reading this piece over the weekend wondering what happens next?

    i think the actual "ban" is just for one week, with the option to extend for 30 calender days. Reply

    Yes , why does the unlawful naked short selling being allowed openly by SEC ?

    Even at emergency , SEC offers policing to only 19 investment banks for 30 days .

    How about the regional banks where they have already been hurt by naked short sellings .

    The naked short sellers can short sell unlimited quantity of shares of any bank by not having to borrow the same .

    Such short sellers then have the " privilege " to command an unlimited supply of shares .

    Such short sellers are naturally invincible since they have been well fed financially in expense of the economy of USA .

    Yet , SEC would only police for 19 investment banks .

    Why does the lawmakers tolerate such notorious violation of the law ?

    Further , banks are often required to shore up their balance sheet forcing them to sell newly issued stocks at depleted pricing .

    An article indicated that the same short sellers who depleted the banks' pricing would buy the newly issued stocks for covering their position .

    Magic ! short selling " nothing " at a high price and buying back the tremendous quantity of new issues at a dirt cheap price .

    A small group of short sellers make huge profit on the misery of a very large number of innocent people .

    Is this vicious cycle of selling phantom stocks at high prices while covering the position with cheap new issues , really happening under the eyes of lawmakers ?

    Just in case , Banks should have a grace time to shore up their balance sheet until the naked short selling is limited .

    Short Sales: SEC Turns Back the Clock to 1931 [view article]
    How can I short a stock Naked. It is a great Idea I could become rich over night and pay myself 1 billion a year in bonuses and salary. Oh, I guess the edge fund managers are already doing that.

    Well, I will set up a company in a country where there are no laws. Then I will short a million shares of x,y,x company. If it goes down I cover and make a bundle. If it goes up I file BK and keep the billion salary I paid myself and let the suckers hold the bag with fake shares. PLEASE someone TELL ME HOW TO GET STARTED. I wanna be rich and famous and buy my own politician to keep the SEC toothless and pay the media hacks to write great things about me. Isn't America wonderful?

    I remmber when the SEC said that Naked shorting was just some BS story made up by losers.

    They they said it exists but had no impact.

    Then the implemented reg SHO

    Now they are saying it is destroying the banks.

    Now we have a huge rally.

    SOO now the king has no cloths. Hw re they ever going back to the past when Naked Shorting does not exist.

    Remember after the short squeeze then the bottom will fall out like a rock     Reply

    Short Sales: SEC Turns Back the Clock to 1931 [view article]
    quetzalcoatl - Agreed! Makes investing in real estate promising again. Who really wants to invest (buy and hold) when the market is tilted and played by very few hands? Very few have time or the will to trade full-time. God forbid you take your eyes of the market for an hour. Obviously the government had to step in as these power brokers were willing to collapse the entire financial system in the name of the dollar. With no regard to you and I. Those same ***** also ran commodities to the moon and only when Congress aggressively started to introduce restrictive legislation has the air start to bleed out; however, during the run up the carnage to businesses and the consumer was un-remorseful.

    If you been around Wall Street any length of time you will come to realize there is no such animal as a "free market". Wall Street is a well-oiled machine controlled by very few players. You and I ride on those coattails for good or for bad. Reply

    Naked shorting Legal?? What? Crazzzyyy....It has nothing to do with the "free markets", essentially people could sell short more shares in a company than actually exsist...Thats not good for anyone in the "free markets". shorting is a good, naked shorting = bad. Reply
