With the market back in negative territory the propoganda machine must generate some positive news for the Dow to close above 8,000.

Ok Citi has some change......and made hurrendous decisions which have reaped havoc on the economy... ........................................................................ Time for the new world wide stock exchange that does away with the likes of these type firms.... The days of the old business models have ended...... Trust has been lost for a very good reason..... Time for change... Not continuing the same flawed system..... GS, MS, the list goes on.......good riddance......you had your chance....now it is someone elses'.......

Christopher Cox, SEC chairman, said the meeting, to be held via teleconfrerence, would address âurgent regulatory issues in the ongoing credit crisis.â The announcement came during yet another tumultuous day of trading in global stock markets. âIn addressing turbulent market conditions, it is essential not only that regulators act against securities law violations, including abusive short selling, but also that there be close coordination among international markets to avoid regulatory gaps and unintended consequences,â Mr Cox said in a statement on Thursday. The International Organization of Securities Commissions, which includes securities regulators from around the globe, will consider the effectiveness of their recent actions to reduce abusive short selling, without hurting legitimate shorting. Short sellers, who profit from price declines, have come under fire during the crisis, blamed for driving down share prices of vulnerable financial institutions. The SEC had temporarily put in place emergency measures barring short selling on financial institutions but they expired early last month. Other regulators have also installed rules banning short selling. Mr Cox said regulators will explore âpossible coordinationâ on rules relating to naked short sales â when shares are sold without being borrowed firstâ in particular with regard to position reporting and delivery and pre-borrowing requirements. They will also discuss developing disclosure principles to promote transparency in over-the-counter markets for derivatives and other financial instruments. The meeting will also focus on credit rating agencies and international accounting standards. âThis high-level coordination among international regulators will allow us to review the steps we have taken thus far and ensure that our ongoing and future actions are effective and mutually reinforcing,â Mr Cox said.
