Fannie, Freddie Shareholders Will Be Left Holding the Bag - Barron's

You people just dont get it. Barrons doesnt get it. Eli doesnt get it. FNMA/FRE will survive "in their current form", with existing shareholders intact, to not only preserve the equity built up over the multi-decade timespan these companies existed, but to keep the respective employees 401ks intact. Why is that important? In order to keep these entities "in their current form", the existing employees must do their jobs! If someone just lost WHAT IS LEFT of their live savings, thats not much incentive to stick around is it? Demoralized workers anyone? And didnt you notice that Barrons didnt state its government source? Please. Rumors and lies and the veiled hand of Soros, who will be furiously covering next week. Sorry shorts, game over.

As Merrill Reports, Short Squeeze in Financials Continues

To my knowledge, shortselling is illegal in Europe. If the European markets can do without shortselling, so can we.

We need to permanently ban all shortselling of any kind, forever. If people want to profit from the decline in the value of a stock, but a put option like they do in Europe.

Market Makers have provided ENOUGH liquidity. Shortsellers now and always have diabolically caused fear, uncertainty and doubt along with an erosion of confidence in investing in stocks at all. If they had their way, all stocks of all companies would be worth zero.
