A friend of mine e-mailed this to me. If you are interested in the stock market, this is pretty serious stuff:

============================================

There is an interesting story developing regarding the U.S. Stock Market. A number of publicly traded companies are alleging that a group of conspirators (Hedge Funds, "Independent" Research Firms and crooked journalists) are working together to drive down the value of their stock and profiting by the declining share price. There is also some evidence that Regulators have been lax in enforcing rules which might help prevent this activity.

Time Magazine wrote about this last year:

60 Minutes is scheduled to air a report on this issue at 7 PM on Sunday. I encourage you to watch the show and ask yourself a simple question: If a group of thieves can profit by destroying a company's market value, and the regulators and journalists turn a blind eye, what can stand in the way of such fraud? I think the only answer is "Knowledge."

I've been following this issue for over a year and there is a lot of misinformation out there. I believe that if you look at the motivation for the parties that are involved and read between the lines you see a startling pattern of abuse and disregard for the public.

Unlimited risk.... Let me know how it goes :popcorn:
 
Mark Cuban hates short sellers. He writes about them in his blog (Blog Maverick) a lot
Apparantly, the President of Overstock.com is really going to war against this practice. He is in a court battle regarding this very subject.
Maybe because their stock is one of the most shorted in the nasdaq right now.

Apparantly, this President is pretty upset. He has asked for actual copies of his stock, and the financial institutions cannot provide them. After seeing "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" I get the feeling that there are some fairly sleazy things happening every day that we never hear about.

As my friend puts it (concerning the tapes of the Enron traders talking about screwing over Granny), "Do you think traders on Wall Street don't have the same mentality?"

I'm guessing that traders are much like lawyers or cops: you have your sleazeballs, and you have your good people with integrity. I don't know any traders, but I am guessing they aren't any more or less moral than many other professions.

I'm not so sure. The high pressure job kind of caters to type-A over-driven types.
 
My wife is actually pretty savvy when it comes to the market and naked short sells. She has what she thinks is a foolproof plan to protect us - she spends all of my ####### money. WALA.
