Byrne on Bloomberg at 3:30 eastern.

........just got a call. Fidelity has raised margin requirements to 80% on OSTK.

Arnie Alsin article, Real moneyprobable scooted the stock. The bomb didn't take long. From thesanitycheck.com The person who was heading up the SF office investigation into the claims against the hedge fund and research firm suddenly got offered a huge job with Kroll, a private...

Stock is already down a bit after hours. However, this time it reallymay be different. We are so far down the road with this. This SEC crap is what they do. And maybe it backfires. People are sick of this. Look at TASR> All that time, and ....... never mind. We didn't find anythingl...

He did predict he'd get a subpoena............ Press Release Source: Overstock.com, Inc. Overstock.com Celebrates Receipt of SEC Subpoena Tuesday May 9, 5:47 pm ET SALT LAKE CITY, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com® (Nasdaq: OSTK - News) announced that today it...

I believe Byrne predicted this last summer. The regulatory agencies depend on "tips" from reporters, etc. This is what you get when they latch on. DJ Overstock.com Gets SEC Subpoena Over Acctg Procedures>OSTK DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Overstock.com Inc. (OSTK) said late...

I am not a back office expert. I know that they were using illegal bullets, and that's being investigated. I sent your comment on to Bryne, and I suggest you send it to Alsin, also. Illinois is a big part of the NAASA continigent for a very big reason, CBOE. Your points are cogent and well...

My guess is, Alsin lowballed numbers not to look wacky. I have heard, less than 7mm at DTCC. 30mm total short, PB believes, and he's heard 60. Investing Simple math explains the exorbitant yields being paid to borrow Overstock shares. Brokers have been haphazard lenders...

ratboy is dead right. The Vodiagroup piece points out that no stock is borrowed, ergo nobody is paid outside the Prime Broker. Vodiagroup estimated 205 bill robbed from Pensions alone. Guess who bails them out? Youse...... Go back to...

Wanna get real sick, look at William Kennedy Smith, the outrage in '92, he "gets off", and not the way he liked, and what happened recently. The whole family is disfunctional, and the knuckleheads in the NE Corridor vote 'em in like they were the chosen ones. I mean, Paris Hilton has...

My problem with the whole thing is, they are fucking up the markets I trade in. They have destroyed jobs, companies, liquidity., and then have an attitude. For what? Some hedgie needs another couple bucks? And the "journalists". Go read the latest thesanitycheck.com. I think I said this...

Yup. Terrible quarter. And the 100% short position will be defended to the death. I will point you in one direction. And if you look back over these posts, you know as well as I that the end of naked shorting is very near. Byrne pointed out in the beginning of the teleconference that...

I'd like to get some new ideas. I'm local.

just go here. O'brien has it. http://thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/BlogID/1/Default.aspx Read the Alsin piece too. Very good.

Look at the last three paragraphs. I also have the transcripts of the whole testimony. Too big. However, pay attention. Bennett, who obviously was bought to the table by Byrne, is selecting three stocks. One of them is OSTK. Something is brewing. I'm going to pick some parts, and put them...

http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/MC/courtcal/casenoq.cfm?sel_prefix=&sel_caseno=CIV053693 Wednesday seems to be a big day. wonder what it's like to work all your life, have people refer to you as "hero", make a ton of money, and then have a chance for all to end as "defendant."? What did...

I so wish. http://www.cross-currents.net/irony042406.pdf

This is just the beginning. The Prime Brokers have to move before the accounts go to negative equity. The solution for the wise guys is to pack a suitcase with money and go to Austria, ala Thomas Badian. I saw a post on Silicon Investor where a guy got bought in and lost a quick 36%. He...

That's like six guys kicking the shit out of Grandma, and letting them kill her so you can sue. Let me phrase this so you can understand ......IT'S AGIN THE LAW!!! Read the Vodiagroup piece. Some 1.2 trillion relieved from pension funds so the Prime Brokers can get bigger houses. Who...

TZOO was on the SHO list for quiet a while. With grandfathering, x clearing, etc., there are probably a mulitiple of the reported short position in the system. The SEC has said there are companies out there where the shorts exceed the float. That's where the firepower comes from. I 'm...
