The outrage continues. Notice Taser's CEO differentiates between shorts, and naked shorts. He respects the rights of the shorts, THE LEGIT SHORTS. I neither know, or care, about Taser's fundies. I do care that they have a right to make it on their own.

Reference the Ralph Lamiase letter. Ralph was a 17 year old Marine. The motto of the Marines is "Semper Fi". Some of you couch potatoes might not know it means "always faithful".. Mr Lambiase told me that he has a personal interest in this, and told me., "tell your friends it's over. We will finish it. It is now personal with me." Now there are people here talking out their ass talking about how shitty individual companies are. If you can't see what I'm showing you is horribly true, and that it threatens the integrity of the entire market, you better get a resume out. You will not be a trader long.
This is not about fundamentals - that's for the markets to decide. This is about manipulation, pure and simple. Well, not so simple. If you'd read the posts, you'd see what I mean.
I believe Byrne said as much in one of those calls where he said he would be happy to discuss the fundies in a different forum. This was not it.
Our whole system is in jeopardy, and you guys talk out cher butt! Get with it. People are stealing. Know what? I'll bet Byrne and probably Smith will tell you, if we fall down fundamentally, we should get punished. But, the way is now, do poorly, lose. Do well, lose. WTF?
