  • Combating Cascading Short Spirals [View article]
    Actually, the so-called 'circuit-breaker' is little more than a 'short-appeaser'.
    Such a mechanism allows a stock to be shorted down as much as 20% on a given day before a 3-day trading hiatus kicks in.
    Shorts can gouge out up to 20% before the circuit breaker kicks in. Why should this be permissible? Over 5 trading days of continuous assault, a stock could be decimated.
    If the stock is only shorted down to 19% on a given day, no 'circuit-breaker' activates.
    This is not acceptable.
    The SEC must ban shorts now in line with major European partners.
    It's time for longterm investors to have their investments protected and for companies to be valued for their fundamentals, not devalued via lies and innuendo.

  • Can the Banking System Handle Huge New Write-Downs? [View article]
    So sad all this talk about 'predatory' lending.
    Most folks knew full well what they were getting into and welcomed the chance to get a mortgage.

    Let's stop the shorts in their tracks BEFORE they decimate another business.
    Cox, get some balls and ban them, just like the UK and many other countries did.

  • What Just Happened? [View article]
    Rest assured, the shorts will destroy MS and AIG over the next couple of sessions.

    By the time you realize you were wrong about the shorts it will be too late and more businesses will have needlessly failed....

    The shorts have come back to finish off what's left of the market, thanks to ball-less Cox and the SEC idiots.

  • Awaiting Apple Earnings and Guidance [View article]
    Prognostications regarding guidance?
    What is this a friggin' parallel reality, here?

    Time to stop these ridiculous guessing games, now!

    Shoot the analysts, hedgefunds, shorts, and, let's not forget, the good-for-nothing SEC.

    You going to punish Apple, as the messenger?

    I have NO sympathy for the manipulative hedgefunds and disloyal shorts who've caused a run on the banks. The SEC needs to grow some gonads and get these people. Good riddance!

  • Steve Jobs' Fake Heart Attack, Courtesy of CNN [View article]
    Stupid-ass SEC doesn't do a goddamn thing against short-sellers manipulating the market. And to think 3 days after the bill passes, shorts are allowed back at the financials. Can you believe this?

    And Erick, you are a twit. Jobs' health appears fine.
