  • Dow Jones Suspends Distressed Securities Hedge Fund Index [View article]
    A great move indeed, now would be a teriffic time for DJ to also suspend all participation of hedge funds that have abused and manipulated the market, driving the market into ground via short\naked short selling. The Obama administration would also be well served if it would re-instate the up-tick rule.

  • SEC Exploring Remedies for Short-Selling Manipulation [View article]
    Your suggestion to abolish all short selling is a fantastic idea, however the people in charge of the SEC are only puppets to the lobbyist and elected congress that only listens to them (lobbyist) instead of the people they were elected to serve, with that being said, don't hold your breath. IMHO lobbyist are responsible for 99.9 % of whats happening in our current markets and until America writes, calls, and faxes their congressmen saying we have had enough and we mean business, nothing is going to change.
