Bill Introduced to Reinstate the Uptick Rule [View article]
Uptick rule is needed NOW...
To those who say it will not make a difference -well, if it will not then why do you care?
To those who are opposed -get a grip, your days of theft are nearing an end... Inflated stock prices do not bother the shareholders or the companies. Those who claim to be market Ghandis doing the shareholders or the companies a favor by driving share prices down by selling BORROWED' to what they 'feel' the prices should be worth are hilarious to listen to. They can do the shareholders or the companies a real favor and get thier hands out of thier pockets, Theft is theft regardless the grandiose wrappings that shorts wish to cloak it in...
GKM and the others with thier heads in the sand. IF the SEC would take away the market maker exception THEN you would see the reality you delusionally believe impossible. As it stands now, the market makers (the primary manipulators and or avenues of manipulation) are still in business and still shorting...
The Deal's Getting Done, But Will It Work? [View article]
Many of the finacial geniuses here including the author seem not to read the new bill too thoroughly as they miss the provision for thew SEC to suspend the Mark to Market accounting rule. LOL talk about an instantaneous reversal of fortune WHEN that happens! Many of the Mega shorts will be crying to mommy WHEN it happens AND I would suggest many will cover in anticipation of this coming short seller armageddon...

Mike,
You miss the big picture. IF what ABK insusre is worth less THEN the companies that hold such paper have big problems AND even bigger problems IF ABK goes down the tubes.
The "flawed business model" is self correcting as should be self-evident by the simple fact that Mood'ys raised the ratings they now may lower again. AND then we will see the companies that hold such paper make deals again effectively once again prompting Moody's to raise the ratings.
It should be self-evident that the only "flawed business model" is the one of Moody's who is an irrelevant bystander practicing voodoo rating and attempting to vicariously run the business' of others. Moody's is a day late and a dollar short and should be put out of business AS thier only a necessary evil -a leech imposed by Government that serve no purpose and add no value...
RISK -you do not understand RISK unless your risk model includes rumour, innuendo, and fear mongering efforts employed by the short and distort crowd. As well, throw in a good measure of naked shorting...
Volatility equates directly to RAPID price moves -DUH what causes such moves? Then consider as well that volatility to be NORMAL statistically SHOULD be equally distributed... WHY oh why does not volatility correlate as well to a soon to be successful company pray tell?
YOU seem to paint the picture already preconcieved with the statistical paint...
YOU maybe now figure out the reality of volatility tied do rapid price delcines -just WHY the distribution is SKEWED...

Let us be realistic in the case of Fannie Mae takeover and bailout please.
Firstly , there was no 'takeover'. The 'takeover' was a mugging of a company that acquiesced under pressure. The CEO and board were strong armed into agreement by the FED with an ultimatum of do it by choice or by force.
Secondly, there was no bailout. The 'powers' granted to Treasury under the new housing bill do not go into effect until October and as such any capital injections if ever required would not happen until after the law is in effect and happen only within the guidelines set forth by Congress.
Lastly, the business going forward for Fannie will remain as always UNLESS Congress changes the Charter -NO NO the Treasury has no say in the matter at all.
In conclusion, Fannie was and is meeting all Capital requirements SO why was the 'takeover' initiated? I will tell you what you may be either ignorant of or blind to. The buyers of Fannie debt were becoming worried as to the soundness of Fannie because of the mega short interests. The short and distort gangs that have been mugging the financials -Ackman ring a bell? YES what we see in the market place is Fear & Greed. The Greedy apparently were effective enough to cause enough Fear that the US GOV felt it necessary to act when fundamentally Fannie was and remains sound. You who disagree will one day see the reality...

I want to know fact not assumption -please provide, otherwise I may as well read fictional childrens stories as they would provide more entertainment.
