You know a company/country/continent is in trouble when authorities start cracking down on short bets against it.
That's why it's so disturbing how much heat European currency and sovereign debt speculators are getting these days.
Even the U.S. has climbed aboard the bandwagon now.
Reports of a U.S. Justice Department investigation into Soros Fund Management, SAC, and Greenlight Capital short positions against the euro broke last week.
Yet now the speculator clamp down is evolving into something completely terrifying. Apparently, it could now be considered collusion if you simply share economic opinions over dinner:

Obama going after Soros? Could be all talk and no action. Obama could be just pretending to investigate them in order to placate angry Euros. If that is the case, the author of the above article would end up getting worked up for nothing.

It’s not the shorts that cause problems in the market, that is kind of due diligence and supply and demand.
It’s the well funded naked shorts. They can destroy an issue almost overnight.

Obama was helped by a lot of people. If it helps him, under the train they go.
Obama doesn't do gratitude.
