Interesting. Not sure what exactly your point is but interesting none-the-less.

STEVEN Rattner, the auto industry adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, is flagrantly thumbing his nose at President Obama's call for Americans to make sacrifices in the collapsing economy. Rattner is moving full-speed ahead with construction of a lavish, $15 million summer home in...

Geithner is just setting the stage for when they can his tax cheating ass for incompetence.

New York City employs people of the highest salary. The businesses there are cash cows. The fact that the city can not balance a budget under those circumstances is atrocious.

And this explains why Buffett has been getting all this press lately about the TARP and the financial services. He has the media in his back pocket and uses them to improve his financial position. http://weblogs.jomc.unc.edu/talkingbiznews/?p=9241 The problem with Buffett’s relationship...

SEC under fire again appropriately enough: “The SEC inspector general’s office has opened other cases as well. It is investigating allegations that a top SEC official committed perjury in a letter to a senator and in court when discussing efforts to curb short-selling. Kotz is also...

Imagine, in 2003 I started www.investigatethesec.com and in the 6 years since the SEC has been before Congress many times for violations of the laws and for derailing investigations due to political pressures. This most recent OIG investigation exposes only the tip of the iceberg regarding...

SEC Attorneys Accused Of Insider Trading CBS News Exclusive: FBI Investigating Two High-Level Attorneys After Inspector General Report Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Inspector General H. David Kotz, testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, Jan. 5, 2009. A new report...

I am just as impressed with his lack of long hard working days. We kept hearing about how hard these guys worked but I never saw that by his schedule. Geithner arrived in his office around 8:00 every morning as was out before 5:00. He did get a frequent free meal out of it later on. I figure...

The difference here is that the federal reserve has no authority to order one public bank to take on the risks and liabilities of another public bank through a buyout. BofA was not the bank in trouble so the authority that the fed had over BofA would be limited. In this case the Fed imposed...

Look foolish - they look criminal. Threatening to fire Lewis if he does not follow their orders is extortion.

What - so somehow you would rather be left in the dark on the laws those representing the federal government are breaking? The state of our financial systems is what it is and to put the burdens on select 'collateral damage' in a conspiracy orchestrated by the Fed and the Treasury is not the...

You can certainly assert that he is a nut case and a fraud but there are certain aspects of his story that need some further embellishments. 1. What is the real story behind the jail cell beating? I doubt that it was made up for this story. 2. Many of the allegations/issues with...

Looking Behind the Curtain; The Real Conspiracy. By: Martin Armstrong; Former Chairman of Princeton Economics Int'l. Many people have written asking about Goldman Sachs and it's conspiracy to control the Financial Markets. I have even been asked whether I believe that the attempt to...

Please tell me this is not really your logic. A short seller typically holds what percentage of shares outstanding vs. a long holder? shorts can represent what 10, 15, 20% of O/S. Hardly the buy back volume we are all looking for. When a short covers that cover represents minimal volume...

Man are you an idiot. You just excused manipulation. "Intent" to manipulate prices through trade activities is not legal the same way "intent" to manipulate prices via false advertising is not legal. The company lost orders due to the manipulation as forward looking concerns were raised...

You clearly missed the point. And the case is not being dropped. The brokers are likewise up on charges. The DOJ has the audio recording of that conversation and the "intent" of the trading.

Federal prosecutors, in a case that remains open against Thomas Badian but has been dropped against his brother Andreas, charge in the complaint that Andreas ordered brokers to sell Sedona shares short with "unbridled levels of aggression." After the stock had "collapsed," according to the...

"The concept of "bad short sellers" etc. is totally absurd. In the first place, every short must be bought back, which creates buying pressure." That is the most asinine comment being placed out there. Every long being purchased must also be sold which creates sell pressure. Both are a...

By your logic there is no problem with a pump and dump. Every buyer will eventually be a seller and thus they add liquidity to a market. The pump adds liquidity which is good and the dump creates market efficiency. It is buying without selling that creates price distortions which is why longs...
