http://www.tbs.com.es/simplyspain/aboutspain/The_Naked_Truth_1.html Others can articulate the argument far better than I can, but it's reasonable to conclude that if shorting can so impact a market as to cause a major decline or crash, it's not hard to imagine the impact of naked short...

If I understand your set of standards, only someone who has worked for the SEC, the DTCC, has a law degree, the educational qualifications to work for Goldman Sachs or some other broker of your choosing and has a NASD license is someone that you would consider listening to. The idea that you...

ElatedMaverick Firstly, may I point out that you never actualy seem elated? Has anyone ever told you that before? Secondly, hubris, your cardinal trait, does not distinguish you as a maverick. You don't even look like that guy in the movie. Lastly, are you attempting to say something...

Interesting thought :D

From the article/Houston Law Review: "However, despite its growing coverage in the mainstream press and its cult-like status on the internet, naked short selling has remained beyond the awareness of most American investors. Part of the reason that this growing problem remained relatively...

It looks like Cramer is trying to manage the damage. He was on The Big Idea last night, appearing to put a human face on his otherwise bizarre personae. It turns out he claims to have been some half-breed tough guy/nerd who had been tapped as an idiot at a very young age. Then there was another...

If you have concluded that naked shorting should be abolished, then you have probably come around to understand that the practice only serves those who sell something they don't own. Taking any information at face value is not the hallmark of someone seeking the truth about anything. I doubt if...

Brilliant! :D

And the more your attempt to chastise people, the more pussy you come off.

Two invisable retards infected with keyboard courage tag-teaming. Neither of which have any capacity to understand what the discussion is about. My bet is that Nut is a receptionist at a boiler room operation, the other one in some crappy BA program drooling over one of Kiev's obnoxious tomes.

Flytiger: I'd like to ask you a question off the boards regarding some of the research you suggested. If you would email me, I'd appreciate it. I have something pretty interesting to tell you.

Crazy? No, I think the analogy is apropos. The fact that you take such umbridge against it says mare about you than anyone else: 1. The fact that the analogy is ubiquitous in the industry and you have you knickers in a twist, speaks of your amateur status. Spend ten minutes at any trading...

I think your analogy is a good one and the criticism of it ironic. As long as people can argue in lofty terms, they're comfortable with doing the deed. When the description becomes too explicit, the defense pales, people scramble once again to redefine the terms.

Flytiger: Thanks for elaborating on the issue, you are obviously quite knowledgeable, to say the least. I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the viability of these issues actually coming to the fore and if you think that some new construct will be put in place whereby there is...

As usual, the issue of naked short selling and short selling is conflated. Everyone in prison is guilty and everyone who shorts, naked or not is providing a public service. I have no doubt this is what those who have gained a great deal by naked shorts tell themselves. It's called...

Well said Fly. :D

That's not necessarily so. There are many components that make for a buy, too numerous to delineate here. Not everyone is wired, traders who aren't, see a stock getting hammered and they wonder if the big boys know something they don't know. It's no secret that hedge funds get information...

That is the party line. People who espouse this are either parroting what they here and don't really understand what they are talking about or they're on the side of those who can actually say to someone "Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes" with a straight face. The argument is...

The fed will just print more. Does anyone actually believe that houses that were purchased in 1980 for five hundred thousand dollars and a year ago were worth three million appreciated as a function of some magical added value from the sunshine? It's because the house that used to cost five...

Anyone who doesn't grasp the danger in naked shorting is either living under a rock, can't grasp the implications or think that it just may be a fun thing to do it because the big boys are getting away with it. These are the very same people who still think Bush will win the war.
