Ask Yourself WHY the SEC is even considering banning ALL short selling.....

Quote from Specterx:

Who should be locked up for creating the housing bubble?

Who should be locked up for offering liar loans and option ARMs?

Who should be locked up when C-class garbage is rated AAA and sold to mom & pop's pension fund, then shorted by the bank that sold it?

Who should be locked up for running the fed funds rate down to nothing and holding it there for a year, allowing Wall Street to take on massive and unsafe leverage?

These are the reasons that we're in a financial crisis. Of course you wouldn't say that people should be locked up for running the market to overvalued highs. I have another great idea: why not just make it illegal for the market to go down? I bet everyone on ET would make money hand over fist.

Finally, the hedge fund industry is down on the year, and as always the results look better than reality because of survivorship bias. Who exactly is making all these billions in profits from trying to corner the U.S. equity markets?

Hmmm...JP Morgan seems to be making out like a bandit during this whole fiasco...

Financial terrorism. Same technique used in Asia last year.

It would seem Cox and his lackeys, under huge pressure from Administration, DOJ guys, are having to come up with a new system to prevent this 2001, 2007 Asia, 2008 Western World raids by offshore raiders.

Cramer is on this too, but only because one of my pals went to short guys who were standing aside to prove it wasn't them, and had them pitch Crames. I call him "Crames" you know. I don't think the guy has sources anymore. But the NY guys are smart enough to know the FEDs were all over these back offices the last two days. What do you think the 50 subpoenas are about? give up a days pay to show it's not you. Smart. You stay out of trouble that way.

Again, I expect offshore scum to steal from us. But why in the world would our own people help? OK, OK, I know the answer; the question was rhetoric. But they'll be hell to pay.

Unfortunately, you and I pay too. We pay in regulation and loss of freedom. But I do believe I said that was coming ad nauseum.

Now, with futures up huge, I'd better get some sleep, so I can figure out how to make a living.

think guys, think outside the box. It's your country too. And we've got problems.

Anyone wonder where the short Hedge funds are putting all the cash they are making.

Why am I reading in the news about hf's imploding.

Good luck on the elimination of short selling.

There is no money.

The gov't knows this.

If anyone had money the market would go up.

Cayman Islands, Sterling Bank are two. Locked down. Tracing source of money and players. Lichtenstein. Another real good hiding place. That's why you're just starting to see IRS and Treasury agents picking on UBS. All Western Nations are on this. Just takes a long time. But the money isn't here. You are correct.
 
Quote from stock777:

I'll say this.

Anyone pompous and inane enough to say that nothing should be done about an obvious attack on the Country, should themselves be locked up , for our and their own protection.

I called for this shorting action in a recent post, and I have no inside information , only my own good instincts that this whole meltdown is being gamed by nefarious sources.

For all I know they were paid off to eliminate the uptick rule, so as to make this assault even easier.

I don't believe much, but I do believe what me eyes tell me.

And the denials of imbeciles only make me more certain that I'm probably right.

All you had to do is watch MS Wednesday and Thursday. I've seen some shit, but that was brutal. Mack, who is currently under investigation himself, see page 33 of the latest SEC IG report to Congress, told Cox, "if we go down to these short sellers, the blood is on your hands." Of course, Morgan never naked shorted..........

Remarkable, isn't it? Mack doesn't llike it when it is done to him. How many companies did he kill? (TASR looks good in here, btw)

Are you starting to smell a rat? Thought so.

That pos Rankel won't even file his taxes. BTW now we know where that cocksucker got his caribbean villa from
 
Gawd, I hate to be linked to 'conspirancy theorist'.

I saw a problem, researched it with spit and chicken wire. I had a good idea. Then, this Byrne character shows up, and he's willing to spend millions getting the data.

We are not conspiratorial. All the people you see on TV had hard data on the facts. They chose to hang with themoney changers.

That 9/11 puts story is a myth.

They'll be telling us the US government planned the attacks next. sheesh!

So, the highly unusual volume of puts was "not suspicious", because someone supposedly "investigated" and said it was inocuous? They're basically saying it was a coincidence. It may have been a coincidence, but it doesn't seem likely; and certainly not just because someone said it was.

I have never heard a good reason for that spike in volume, and it seems to me to be very unlikely to be a coincidence. I'm not saying that I know who's behind it, but come on. It could have been a number of parties. It could have been the terrorists behind the attacks, for one thing, even if you believe every detail of the official story.

NOTE that they didn't deny the huge increase in volume - they just said that it was basically nothing to worry about. It can't be denied, because the data is right there on the CBOE website, publicly available.
