Shorts Are Evil

FAS 157: Let the Tweaking Begin

Investor confidence will not return completely until the extremely flawed and destructive M2M is fixed and the Uptick Rule is reinstated. Hopefully that will be soon.

Morgan Stanley Shorts Brought the Short Ban

The Shorts use kind of a 3 prong strategic military-like attack with the assistance of the Rating Agencies and Media:

First the Shorts determine who to go after and who they could have the most effect on within the financials. They then spread False Rumors which are picked up by the Media which quote unnamed sources that in turn scares people. Shorts then follow up with a Massive Bear Raid (using naked short selling), which leads to a Downgrade by the Rating Agencies stating that the companies share price are now too low for future capital raises, which lead to possible calls on the companies holdings and further price drops...then onto their next victim to destroy and so on....

Morgan Stanley Shorts Brought the Short Ban

Very insightful article. Why give anyone, especially huge secretive hedge funds, incentive to destroy our financial systems and markets and then reward them? Shorts would have no need to spread false rumors and panic if short selling was not allowed. That is insane.

Shorts must be very evil and greedy people that strive for the destruction of man-kind. They dream for the death of individuals, job losses, and all bad things in general.The crazy thing is that they get rewarded if their dreams come true.
