You don’t need protection from short sellers. Most major rallies are ingnited by shorts covering their positions. Without them, markets would fall much further, much more frequently. That’s a documented, verifiable fact.

We're not talking about mere short selling. We're talking about massive, coordinated, wealth-destroying, and utterly unseen short selling, done at just the right time to severely damage markets and in Marxist fashion, eliminate the middle class.

Just cutting out naked short selling, seems awfully simplistic, and all the glowing stories of economies on fire after doing so, is also a bit suspect. Diamond seems to be on both sides of the issue and that doesn’t work either. I’m not a guru, I am still in the market, but where it and government are going is anyone’s guess. So what else is new?

“You don’t need protection from short sellers. “

Rubbish. The removal of the uptick rule has allowed hedge funds to coordinate attacks and destroy companies. It is risky enough to invest in cutting edge businesses without adding the risk of having those firms destroyed by predatory gaming of the stock market.

Thank you. Globalist manipulators, Marxists, and Jihadists have been working together for a long time.

If someone is skeptical about that, they can read David Horowitz’ *Unholy Alliance* — or just recall how the UN works.

Naked short selling is tantamount to flooding the market with counterfeit stock. It is entirely different from normal short selling.

You CANNOT destroy a company by manipulating its stock price. The stock price can go to zero, and stay there forever, and the company can continue on as strong as ever. All that’s required is that the company have sound fincanices, good management, products that appeal to consumers that the company can sell at a profit, and legal/regulatory environment that permits them to operate at a profit. Given all that, the stock price is completely irrelevant.

And that completely destroys your argument.

Pal? The UN? one word. Ghadaffi. Many laugh. BUT, he has the vote of 83 nations of Africa on whatever he wants to do, plus, his islamic brothers...that now adds up to over half of the UN votes.....the brotherhood at work.

The sooner the west stops funding these leeches the better.

Proving that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Read that in a book, did you?

I absolutely DO know what I'm talking about. I trade for a living.

Here's a thought experiment for you: What would happen to Apple Computer if Obama signed an Executive Order halting forever the buying and/or selling of AAPL shares? On pain of death? And all the suits opposing the action failed to succeed?

Answer: In all probability, absolutely nothing. The only possible consequence would be that Apple would have to raise cash (if they ever needed any) by borrowing instead of by issuing new shares of stock. If you think otherwise, demonstrate how there could be any affect by any other mechanism.

Your answer: crickets chirping.

I was always under the impression naked short selling was ILLEGAL.

It is, but if no effort is made to enforce the prohibition then you get naked shorting.

In theory you this has merit. But only in theory. It’s like saying the appraisers listed your house value as zero. You are unable to sell your house because it has no value to anyone else. Yet you still live in your house just the same. I know several heads of hedge funds have turned in their keys and left the market. One using the word of “rigged” to describe the market. Something stinks.

One will find people deeply ensconced in nearly any phase of society who, not just purport, but actually believe their "stuff" doesn't stink and no regulation is necessary.

Your argument is hideous. The destruction of wealth seems to mean nothing to you.
