    ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY: You can't 'naked short' certain equities, but 'Market Makers' can

    Alas if it were that easy. Pray let us know if you have succeeded in this endeavor. The SEC will be eternally grateful to you. "While no exact system of measurement exists, most point to the level of trades that fail to deliver from the seller to the buyer within the mandatory three-day...

    ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY: You can't 'naked short' certain equities, but 'Market Makers' can

    Naked short sell FNM and FRE: help ???

    This is what happens when the SEC does something like this. Small guys like us have to have the broker locate the shares for us and we are charged an extra fees per share. On the contrary the investment banks can short away to infinity from their inventory without any regulation. So what's new?

    Lousy earnings. It will be interesting to see the Market's reaction tomorrow. Will the short sellers be back in full force? Who is the SEC trying to Kid? The damn short sellers are investment banks who control the SEC.
