The damage is being caused by the thieves that don't have to account for themselves. All the SEC's measure did was to penalize innocent traders by making it difficult for them to short these stocks and allowing unscrupulous brokers to add to their revenues by charging extra fees in exchange for...

It is BS with a capital B and a capital S. The SEC's measure didn't do a thing to the real culprits who just shorted away to glory.

Facts in the commentary speak for themselves.

Rockn - Yw. Glad you enjoyed it.

Well, I should have made myself clearer : One of the reaons for wall street ending sharply lower was the steeper than expected declines in existing home sales. Regarding your query about the aerospace sector, I have no comment as I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I will...

One of the reasons: Steeper than expected declines in existing home sales. "The National Association of Realtors said sales resumed their decline in June after a slight rebound in May. Existing home sales declined by 2.6 percent in June, well beyond the 1 percent drop economists had forecast."

He might get elected too. A populace that elects Bush to two terms ............. don't put it past them.

The rally is just a show to make the SEC look good and for it to say : "Our measures worked". Let the dust settle down and these thieves will be back at it again. They'll probably end up choosing a different playground a la a different group of stocks and will leave the financials alone unless...

Once you use up the quota of 1,000 shares you have to request for more. I am not positive but I believe this is how their setup works. I lost interest because of all the nuances involved and didn't pursue further. I believe the concept is to locate and borrow the shares and then make them...

The SEC is barking up the wrong tree.

I can short any of these at my firm at an added cost of one and one half pennies per share. The problem is you have to tell them the number of shares you need and after they provide you with the requested amount you will be charged for the amount they provided even if you don't short a single...

I have to pay 1.5 pennies per sharel All of them are available but at an extra penny and a half. The irony is I get charged even if I don't use them.

Agreed. However by picking its spots, I believe the SEC can still uncover important information. As an example when Leh's price crashed from 22.27 on July 8 to 12.40 on July 14.

Hedge funds in general are legit and go by the book. However, a very small albeit powerful percentage of this breed is causing all the mischief. They essentially control order flow in the stock markets and dictate direction. They engage in corruption and bribery to achieve their desired results...

I am referring specifically to the list of 19 major financial firms outlined by the SEC last tuesday: * BNP Paribas Securities Corp. * Bank of America Corp. * Barclays PLC * Citigroup Inc * Credit Suisse Group * Daiwa Securities Group Inc * Deutsche Bank Group AG...

I am referring to the securities in question. There are too many variables involved to make sweeping generalizations about securities as a homogenous group.

I'm not going to argue with you. I reiterate that what I've stated are facts. Your statements are hypothetical. To wit: Not being able to see the fails and your belief but not a fact that "cox was at a crossroads and was forced to move" etc. Be that as it may, it is pointless to continue this...

There is nothing erroneous about my post. Everything stated there is a fact except for the articles which I posted for informative purposes with the caveat that I disagreed with many of the points of view. My goal is to simplify things so that people can clearly understand the concepts being...
