CORPORATE CRIME REPORTER SEC IG Kotz Shakes Things Up 22 Corporate Crime Reporter 41, October 23, 2008 When H. David Kotz took over as Inspector General (IG) at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2007, he vowed to restore credibility of the office. His...

Surdo, posting a dumb question is not illegal so why the paranoia. Likewise FINRA has no jurisdiction over an individual investor, only the SEC does and they are deep into a dark closet without the capacity to step out and see what is happening. FINRA doesn't even have jurisdiction over...

Like having the SEC monitor this site is a threat in any way. Tell your neighbor to tell his brother to stop reading the message boards and actually go out and nab the crooks. Boca is a haven for crooks operating under the disguise of market makers and to date, all we hear out of the SEC...

What message are you trying to pass here nutmeg? Lehman illegally shorted (naked shorted shares) as exposed by FINRA and engaged in a scheme to counerfeit others (Evergreen). I thought you didn't believe in any of this.

Damn, what is it about you guys. This was a report published in the Washington Post. Does it merit consideration - clearly based on what we have come to understand these past months. The SEC has a policy where they do not confirm or deny investigations taking place and do not discuss...

I totally disagree here. The locate creates opportunity for failure. The only safe solution for both the short seller and the markets is a hard borrow before the trade. The hard borrow will eliminate the "multiple use of a locate" since the locate does not turn into a borrow until T+2. The...

The title of this article, “Selective Transparency: Who is the SEC Really Protecting” relates to the action, or inaction as it may be, as it relates to providing critical information to the public. Before concluding with opinion as to why Forms SH remained in the control of the SEC and...

The US CEO's don't have the integrity. Greed has overtaken common sense. Based on how bonuses are handed out on Wall Street I suggest that bonuses should come by way of stock options and not stock shares. The Options would be priced at the average of the top 30 trade days over the course of...

Dated Tuesday October 9 The bank's shares were being punished by a rumor that Mitsubishi UFJ Finanical Group Inc. (MTU) would pull out of its deal to invest in Morgan Stanley. After its stock fell, Morgan Stanley issued a statement saying it had received the necessary regulatory approvals...

I beg to differ. Last week was dominated by rumors that Mitsubishi was going to bail out on this deal. The rumors started on Monday and continued throughout the week. Both Morgan and Mitsubishi had to repeatedly put down the rumors. Morgan gapped up 50% and is now up 61% while Goldman is...

For the past week Morgan Stanley’s stock was besieged with selling pressures as rumors circulated about Mitsubishi backing out of their deal. Both companies denied the rumors circulating and yet the stock tumbled and tumbled hard losing 50% of its value in that week. Today the deal is...

Yahoo Finance is wrong. Try and find a single story that identifies a positive start. Dow futures have been down all morning. The Dow fell 210.50, or 2.45 percent, to 8,368.60 after dropping 696 in the first minutes of the session. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was off 20.56, or 2.26...

Dow opened at 8568 after closing at 8579. It dropped to 7882 representing slightly less than a 700 point drop.

"How much fraud are you willing to accept for Liquidity" 2004 quote by SEC Chairman William Donaldson before the House Committee on Financial Markets.

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

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...

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...

Nutmeg, there is a great difference between occasional exemption and full exemption. Can you explain to me how a short seller trading is proprietary but a long investor trading strategy is not. please don't spin this, tell me in logical sense why the differing standards.

Nutmeg, are you always this caustic? Is it standard operating procedure to come in with piss and vineager without actually presenting rational thought? Unlike you, I have an open mind. I can believe that short selling, if properly executed and with proper transparency can be valuable to a...

The reason that Chanos paid huge money to have Richard Baker lobby for non-disclosure was because of "how dangerous it could be for the markets". Copy cats could create a disturbance on the efficiencies in pricing and a piling on could happen. those are not my opinions it is Chanos. Chanos...
