  • UBS's IRS Woes Have Swiss Worried [View article]

    The Obama adm. is bullying the Swiss to break their laws to comply with ours. This is Obama's new foreign policy of "listen and learn"? How about if the Mexicans start bullying the US to comply with their laws. this is laughable. the current US Administration should back off bullying the Swiss. Obama and his croneys are subscribing to the "gentle, listen and learn, non dictating policy" to Iran and North Korea. To the Swiss not a chance. The Swiss won't fight back with bombs and killings. Obama has a different policy for them. Dictate to them. Have them comply with OUR tax laws.Soon the EU countries will use this as precedent and demand that the US comply with their tax laws. Then all the EU citizens will take their money out of our banks and our economy will COLLAPSE! The US is a big tax haven for foreigners. Non resident aliens pay no taxes on interest earned in the US. Are we going to give up those names when the EU countries demand them?

    Did Obama stand up to the Iranian gov't and demand that they comply with our laws of freedom to assemble,speech,press,... Did Obama stand up to the North Koreans? No.
    But he stood up to the Swiss.
    Pres. Reagan stood up to the Russians
    Pres. Obama stood up to the Swiss.

  • Cramer's Stop Trading! They Know Nothing! (12/9/08) [View article]
    FULL DISCLOSURE FOR SHORT SALE PRICE AND VOLUME

    At the present time, the exchanges report the long trades (buy, sell)on the tape and "time and sales" transaction for reporting services. (reuters,etc)

    What they don't report is the short sale or buy to cover, when it occurs.

    The shorts have a great advantage in that the short position on a stock is reported only twice a month. Why should an investor wait 2 weeks to find out the short position, knowing that it may not be accurate.
    There is no reason that the short sale or the buy to cover cannot be reported in real time, just like the long trades. (buy,sell)
    Our technology will allow it, why doesn't it happen?
    The ticker on the tape would look like this:

    s3000T (short 3000 ATT)

    bc3000T (buy to cover 3000 ATT)

    At the end of the day, all the trades should be reported, including short sales and short covering.

    T vol 3,699,700 s197,200 bc34,000

    It would also be easy to keep a running total of the shares short.

    tss678,534 (total shares short
    This is one way to level the playing field with the shorts.
    This is full disclosure
