They just banned short selling in US

  1. But the people 'with the most money', i.e. those with the power, the will to steal and manipulate the system, to dump five fake shares for every real one, to bribe politicians with a portion of their gains..........they've been winning for years.

    I ask you , is that fair?

  2. If we can agree that the SEC is doing a a poor job of regulating the market, AND we eliminate, curtail or otherwise make uneconomical for short sellers, who will police the public companies?

    Corporate culture of anything goes as long as the price goes up.

    What's your plan?

  3. The Feds. They already police MS and GS all of the sudden, don't they?

    Wonder why that went down that way? It was orchestrated. In one step you, got Buffett in, politically demoted the SEC, and saved those two dens of thievery from another den of thievery.

    Sounds exciting. Hopefully the feds and the Schumers are going to watch MS and GS as well as the banks they currently regulate.

    Ya know. quite an election hoopla over "change". I'm begining to think it means "spare change".

  5. It's what you'll have left.

    I anticipate doing very, very well.

    nutmeg, did I make this a NSS issue? I am talking about basic principles in regulations. when federal regulators decide that one investors trade strategies are proprietary while anothers is required public knowledge that gives advantage to teh proprietary.

    likewise, you should investigate better our markets when discussing short squeezes. A market can drop ten percent on 1/10th the volume it takes to increase a market the same 10%. that is because it is natural for long investors to panic out of a position.

    now I asked you for a logical eply and you gave noise - come on man step up to the plate.

    gee, did that answer the question about why one was proprietary the other not? Nope, NADA, none. And I never even saw a regulation identified in your posts so now you are a liar.

    Come on piss and vineager, give me something better than your BS. Explain with common logic why the rules SHOULD be different.

    thanks nutcase...you proved my point. You can come out and attack people but when called to actually answer direct questions you fail miserably.
