Shorting Should be Banned

Should Apple Investors Feel Good About Yesterday's Rally?

Yes! Apple investors (investors not traders) should feel good about yesterday's rally and the reasons and simple and obvious.

Markets were oversold last Thursday and recovered on Friday. Apple did not participate in a significant way because of the hype around the BB Storm (the latest supposed 'iphone killer'), and the reported long lines at some Verizon stores for the Storm.
News over the weekend suggested the Storm turned out not to be the 'iphone killer' after all, so Apple rallied on Monday on this and other positive speculation about strong Mac Book sales, and maybe some short covering.

So, there you go; Apple investors should feel good, especially since the buy recommendations are starting to resurface.

Can You See Apple Under $60?

Obviously you would like to see AAPL at $60. Short selling is the main reason why investors have no confidence in any stock. Why should I buy stock when people like you are allowed to borrow it (WITHOUT MY PERMISSION) and short it?

The first thing that needs to be done to restore the confidence of the retail investor is to BAN SHORT SALES OF ALL EQUITIES.

Cash Position Best for Apple Investor

If AAPL closes in positive territory today.........
What, me worried? I don't bet my mortgage money in the stock market, I do not buy stocks on margin (painful lesson learnt after the dotcom bust), and my 2 German high-end autos were bought cash.
So, no worries here.

Cash Position Best for Apple Investor

So, your advice on going to cash would have been timely in August, not now. I went 50% cash since early summer, so I can shop now!

Cash Position Best for Apple Investor

AAPL seems to be resisting further damage this afternoon; looks promising.

All I have to say is that those who take his advice and sell at these levels will likely regret doing so very soon.

Looking for a Cause for Thursday's Sell-off? Blame Greenspan

We needed Greenspan to state the obvious?
In any event, he has had him time in the spotlight and he should refrain from the rhetoric. The "irrational exuberance" in the mortgage and housing markets was a direct result of his excessively low interest rate regime.

Monday's Apple, General Market Fundamentals Favor Bears

"Um, do you know how selling short works in the real world?"

Short sellers borrow stock owned by investors (without explicit permission), sells them (thereby driving the price down) and subsequently repurchases the stock at a lower price and returns them.

That all I need to know !!

The squeeze should be on today.......
Short sellers should have the courage to put up their own money and buy put options!

Short Selling should be banned because it is more of a stock traders tool and not an investment tool. Stocks are not commodities and should not be subject to this type of volatility.
