  • Shorting U.S. Government Risk  [View article]
    That's a pretty good post. It is really kind of ignorant to blame short sellers for any of this mess. Why does no one blame the pumpers who thought that stocks should only go up? Or even the real culprit....Alan Greenspan.

    Greenspan's Bubbles is a great book for understanding how we got to where we are today.
