Should Ron Paul address the NAKED SHORTS Fraud?

that the SEC is going to ban "naked shorts" for 30 days. While the practice will stay on the law books, no "naked short" transactions will be done for this period. Are the "powers" getting desperate to keep the money/banks going?

P.S. Your second link is not working.

It's a long read with many links attached. For something so complex this is very well done.

I found it reading Jim Willie's latest article on www.goldenjackass.com
several paragraphs in under "Institutional Crime & Dishonesty". He refers to Bud Farrell (should be Burrell) and where he says, click here you can listen to a fantastic presentation in an interview with Bud Burrell, about 30 minutes. He knows his stuff and speaks well. Bud then leads you to www.deepcapture.com for the whole story.

For The Emperor's New Shorts.

It is an important issue. I watched most of your second link above when you posted the first time. Very educational and I sent it to some emailees that are into the stock market. I leave my stuff to someone else. But it is terrible and huge. The derivatives are also a big huge collapsible issue--not sure, they might be connected.

It sounds like the commercial banks have some off balance sheet assets and liabilities.

If they participated in these naked shorts ...

Are they on the hook when they guessed wrong?

Since this is technically illegal, has this been kept off the books?

Would any one have an educated guess or have knowledge about this?

When all this unravels and if it is a substantial number of events, and the market suddenly realizes that there are X% less shares outstanding than originally thought, the stock prices will go up and the long investors will benefit, but what if someone went long off a naked short that can no longer cover? Who pays for that? Will the long be SOL? Will people loose all faith in the market if in fact the longs are SOL?

I have a feeling we are in for quite a bit more government intervention than even the market is anticipating.

I know Citi bank has as much as $1 trillion in off balance sheet transactions.

At the end of a chess match usually you can figure out the fatal mistake, but it can only be recognized in hindsight. The possibilities are nearly endless, remember how long it took big blue to play a game of chess and still lose? Most people do not understand what is going on, so when the blame game starts, most likely who ever gov. blames will be stuck with the label. This is so sad.

We must educate everyone. Convince them to exist, then convince them to choose freedom.

WAHOR!!

was never able to "go naked" in a short sell. I always had to put up enough money in order to cover any rise in the price of the stock that I had shorted, until such time as I actually closed my short position and settled accounts. In other words, I had to put up the money in order to cover the risk of guessing (judging) incorrectly.

Given the explanation of the naked shorting that I've read, I'm hard pressed to wonder why it is that the SEC allegedly needs more regulatory power to prevent such a thing. There's regulation already in existence to cover this. Why hasn't it been enforced?

the stock market is patently absurd. Companies shouldn't go public.

Just when I thought I knew all the bad stuff that was going to crash the economy, you had to come along and expose me to this stuff that I had never heard about before.

This is huge. If this comes to light in the mass media, I think you will have people demanding their stock certificates. It's going to be like a run on the bank. It's kind of like fractional reserves. As long as people are confident about the system, everything is OK.

I also think that Peter Schiff should begin talking about this. I wonder if he is aware of this thing?

The problem is this implied endorsement from regulators.

It forces advocates like yourself to have to work a lot harder.

If gov. doesn't put a stop to it, then it must not be too bad.

WAHOR!!

CRIME OF THE CENTURY
The Truth About Naked Short Selling in Juniors

INTRODUCTION
by Jim Puplava

On March 31, 2007 I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Patrick M. Byrne, Chairman and CEO of Overstock.com on Financial Sense Newshour [FSN]. Dr. Byrne was interviewed by Bloomberg News' Michael Schneider on March 14, 2007, the transcript of this interview titled 'Phantom Shares,' Failed Trades and Naked Shorts (Transcript) is still available on Bloomberg.com. This interview, coupled with Dr. Byrne's explosive slide presentation of the not-so-hidden corruption in our financial markets called, The Dark Side of the Looking Glass: the Corruption of Our Financial Markets, motivated me to do my own investigation.

In my FSN Annual Year End Review for 2007, Part 1, I briefly touched the significance of my interview with Patrick Byrne. Since then and throughout 2008, I have personally witnessed this abhorrent and perverse action in junior mining shares. I am so appalled by this rampant abuse, that I began a series on Financial Sense Newshour's "The Big Picture" to expose this "Crime of the Century" [COTC] to our listeners.

The quote "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" is often attributed to Edmund Burke. It is my fervent belief that Financial Sense visitors are identified as good men and women, who search for uncommon truth in their quest to become wise investors. In this regard, Financial Sense hopes to provide accurate information in this series so that we all can do something to stand against this evil practice of naked short selling

"but there is also the rebuttal by some big guy from the government (Prof. Shapiro)."

I wanted to say, that the hedgefund-guy (Kynikos) is quoting some numbers by the government that another guy from the government (Shapiro) has already dismissed as completely understating the problem.
He (Kynikos-Guy) is also using exactly the argumentative strategy described in the long presentation, when it is explained with what sort of propaganda americans are sent back to sleep by their officials.

So, for the real thrill-ride, start with the presentation, then watch the Bloomberg-Show (which still exposes practices that are criminal enough to raise hell, but understates the dimension of the scam).
