Good luck getting anyone to resign. The won’t even vote to impeach each other. Throw the bums out.

It goes way...WAY beyond this.

Listen to the breakdown of events by Mark Levin. He walks step by step through the entire process.

Computerization allows us to run everything backward and track down every single improper trade.

Simply publishing their names, addresses, etc. on the net would serve to instill in some of their victims a feeling of hope (for revenge no doubt).

They could also be put on the Homeland Security "no fly list".

Yep! I would imagine that there are more than a few roaches that fled the country in the last 7 days. Lots and lots. However, congress critters are still in reach.

We get them to resign by starting here, with posts just like that, and making them go Viral. Wonderful people making and putting up Youtube Ads. There are many powerful and elite people that lurk here. Of BOTH parties. We have a tool at our disposal. We owned Dan Rather and document gate, this is a LOT bigger than that. For sure though, doing nothing will get us more of the same.

It’s a very good post. Thanks.

But you might get some comments about you being against “freedom” and “let the market work” as if a market should not be policed like any other human enterprise. No enforcement, no compliance, especially where there’s money to be made.

Youahve a point, but reallly anyone making is it is making an agrument in favor of thievery. Because thats what it is. Thievery on a MASSIVE scale. That ain’t right. If it is, then no law in the United States has any validity at all.

there is a crummy tendency to lump shorts & naked shorts together.

Why shouldn't the SEC & DTCC look the other way at naked shorts. They get transaction fees for the sales.

There should have been no fees for all “failed to deliver” and things would have been different.

I am calling for massive resignations. We can no longer trust congress. Just as with the financial markets, there is a Crisis of Faith in Congress. There is only one solution I trust; Time for some new blood.

I agree 100%

There will never be Congressional hearings as long as democrats are in charge. I even have my doubts if republicans were to get control back..

Here's what I'd like to see as a rule: a person buying stock has the right to void the trade if the seller cannot prove that he owned the stock prior to the sale; if the stock has gone up between the time of the sale and the actual exchange of stock, the buyer might accept the trade even without proof of prior ownership, but if the stock went down, the buyer would likely refuse.

No need to punish the cheaters who get unlucky if there's no upside for the ones who get lucky.

Addendum: my last remark was a little flip. There should still be punishment for people who naked short for purposes of causing market disturbances, but eliminating the immediate upside for such people should help a lot.
