It's easy if you work backwards. 2-4 and you win, because you can force 1 5 and you lose, because he ends with 2-4 6-8 and you win, becaues you can force 5 9 and you lose, because he ends with 6-8 ...

Nicely done... Pick out a relatively inconsequential statement, then, with the help of some creative logic, turn it into a bit of democrat-bashing. :p

I agree. Incorrect. What, exactly, is the difference between manipulation and "true manipulation?" It is not an accepted practice. It is not legal. They would shrug it off because it is not substantial enough. That doesn't make it legal or ethically acceptable (it is neither).

The appropriate sources would be the SEC and the NYSE... Not the NYSE (and not the ASX) (the SEC has regulatory oversight of the NYSE). However, the descriptions on the ASX were more appropriate for this message board than those I found at the SEC. I am aware of the SEC documentation. ---...

I'm not going to build a Faraday cage any time soon...

Although you have identified a real inefficiency (investors do tend to have excessive confidence in he extension of past fundamental trends), I wouldn't consider good past results by themselves to be a sufficient condition for a short position of meaningful size. It's also important to note...
