  • The Facts Behind the Coming Congressional Mortgage Bailout Bill [View article]
    Foreclosures have been rising at great speed since October , 2007 .

    The timing is matching exactly the slumps at financial stock market .

    These home owners who lost their homes might be the same victims who have suffered grave loss , over the slumps .

    Those who stored their savings in bank stocks which had been stable for about 5 years , would lost most severely .

    They are simple , hard working people but victimized by the naked shorters .

    The immense power of naked short selling drove the bank stock pricings lower than lowest .

    SEC allowed such unlawful manipulation , one article indicated that some published records have shown that some short sold shares were not delivered for over 200 days .

    SEC announced emergency measures to police naked shorting on last Wednesday and somehow two days later , nullify the effect of their own measures by exempting the market makers .

    The requirement of delivering the shares short sold by the next day seems reasonable under the computerized system .

    Naked shortings in the now distressed economy intensify the vicious cycle that spirals towards economic destruction .

    The government has a duty to serve the general public .

    The bailout or whatever one names it , is a measure to reverse the cycle towards a better economy .

    Why not ? I know , you short sellers , don't agree .

  • Mother of All Short Squeezes? [View article]
    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 .

  • Financials: Don't Believe the Rumors  [View article]
    The short sellers are raging an attack at the financials to an extent of damage , worse than the 911 terrorist attack .

    The only difference is that the short sellers are much stronger than the defenders .

    Yes , it is a financial war and not just a market of supply and demand .

    All bank stocks are commonly seen sliding over 5% in price in just about 2 hours time , regardless the financial strength of each individual bank .

    Such strong concerted power can only be released by a conspired group of short sellers .

    Conspiracy is criminal .

    Panic catch on by the general public and the price went down further .

    The defenders of price become weaker due to their loss of equity .

    Lowering price or equity , credit crunch , weakening economy all come into a vicious cycle and domino effect .

    Such huge depletion of pricing has nothing to do with the value of the bank stocks .

    Some banks are paying dividend at a rate of more than 20% to the now depleted price .

    Yes , they would cut dividend in the next quarter while their equity is cut tremendously by the invincible short sellers .

    Strong defenders are needed to buy against the short sellers so that the badly depleted price can be pull back . The confidence of investors would be accordingly restored .

    The Fannie / Freddie stocks are immensely important in strategy .

    Should the Fannie / Freddie stock pricing be stablized , the pricing of the rest of the financials are less easy to be pull down further .

    The equity values of the two are of immense importance to the passing of the mortgage rescue plan .

    The mortgage rescue plan would then help to stablize the housing market .

    I know for the fact that some government did encounter a similar financial war .

    The same government stepped in to buy against the short sellers by setting up a trust funds using the taxpayers' money .

    The same government won and made money for the trust funds as a result that the pricing grow back to normal .

    The shortseller lost a huge chunk of money and disappeared .

    All those bad news the shortsellers used disappeared as well .

    Can the good guys win the war ?
