  • SEC Exploring Remedies for Short-Selling Manipulation [View article]
    It would be great to see the new SEC Chairperson take some immediate action that would have some effect at restoring faith in the markets. The reinstatement of the uptick rule seem like a positive step forward. Having worked with hedge funds in a past life, I have no doubt that there is market manipulation taking place.

    Short the Canadian oil sands stocks?

    That was a great trade in September to December of 2008 but I wouldn't go there now. A lot of these stocks already traded down 80%.

  • There's Nothing to Fear But Fearmongers Themselves [View article]
    I absolutely agree that fear of fear is a factor here and that leadership is required. Watch the media as well. Everything is reported in the most negative light possible feeding the whole cycle.

    Leadership is required here. Although I am apolitical I think (hope) Obama will have a positive affect on the overall market psyche when he takes over the reigns.
