A violation of SEC rules would be using a blog to manipulate a stock price downward when the author has proxies shorting it, or has a conflict of interest in options contracts. Someone should initiate an investigation of this author, Matthew Ingram. Too bad the SEC is toothless.

Please. Share this with the federal government of your southern neighbor.
They seem to have missed what role the equities market plays in reducing systemic risk and maintaing personal wealth and therefore corporate profitability.

Some very deep pockets knew, before the rest of us, that the house wasn't going to pass to the bailout bill, an they were ready to dump huge amounts of stock. Then followed a lot of ugly fighting, very publicly, among the Congress members, leaving the masses to fear chaos among a dysfuctional Congress, during a gap in executive leadership. Big predators moved in to drive prices down in a backdrop of chaos, where they could use the media, who are so very easily manipulated, to create false associations as a cover for downward price manipulation. Who benefits from the sudden infliction of margin calls? Look there for the perpetrators of some or much of this market manipulation.]]> Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:30:30 -0500

Are you the one who manipulated trades for $21.70 and $31.00 in late September, early October? Maybe if you keep writing articles like this, it will brain-wash people to think Apple should go to 60, and they won't notice the criminal manipulation that some people are engaged in....

The U.S. auto manufacturers need pressure on them to re-tool for electric cars and hybrid cars. Left to their own devices, pressure from oil companies would maintain the status quo forever - guaranteeing more war and expensive wars, more death, more waste, more environmental poisoning. Only a great force would lead them to change direction. Is that the silver lining in this horrible market crash. Why doesn't NASA put a hold on the next space adventure and devote itself to a suitable electric car battery. Don't tell me they can't do it. Other countries are ahead of us in this regard, and GE , an American company, is funding them. What are Americans going to get from that? We deserve to know. The employees of auto companies need to be helped during a major transition, but a major transition there must be. And oil companies will need to have a plan in place for their employees to retrain and retool in coming years as the electric car is adopted. Also, we need to ask for government support to small investors who were crushed by the market manipulations engineered by the big investment banks and the Treasury. Such as SIPC reimbursements for up to $100,000 of losses for each small investor who has recently fallen victim of what you call " the largest coalition of organized crime in human history."]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:53:36 -0500

Brian in Montreal: I am a newer investor and got caught off guard by the drastic fall in the market -- made worse by the "Bailout" vote debacle, political infighting, and the major media effort to drive us all off a cliff edge.

As to Apple earnings and guidance, the analysts need to recognize the market environment we are in now, and stop inflating their estimates before a report. They are the ones - not the companies - that keep setting investor shareholders up for a fall. If they believe the company is worthy of investor risk, the best thing they can do is let the company's own figures guide investors, and don't jack them up before earnings. It is a fraud that long-term investors pay for heavily.]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:40:55 -0400

Questions: Is there some advantage for investment banks participating in the bailout if their equities values are severely depressed? Is this somehow helpful to banks facing bankruptcy, to have only devalued assets? Some tax advantages for those selling large blocks now --before a potential change in administration? Because there is more going on than meets the eye.....

LOWER risk-to-reward might be a worthwhile goal.

I have to say that sloppy journalism and uncritical repetition by media of much propaganda has been part of the problem in this crisis-certainly not part of the solution. The collusion between investment banks and the media has been none too subtle the past month.
Moreover, there is the appearance that investment banks and some money managers learned that the first "bailout" vote would fail before the general public did, and trampled a lot of small individual investors in their rush to the fire exits.
Andrew Snyder's comments are not very helpful in stabilizing our country right now. ]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:00:01 -0400
