Opinions Kevin - lies are mis-statements of facts.

I read the SEC report and the response. I tend to be a middle of the roader. By that, I agree that many scammy companies want to use this as an excuse. OTOH, there are many developmental stage companies that have a hard time once the naked shorts get an opening.

The abuses in naked shorting are IMO a function of hedge funds and MM abuse of their exception. That's a simplification.

What I've been advocating is a thorough investigation and re-write of the SEC acts and then regs thereunder. Irrespective of your view, I can't understand why the hedgie shortie crowd wouldn't want that unless perhaps it takes away their livelihood.

As far as Overstock goes, every time I've looked at it, I thought it was too expensive. Of course, each time I said that, it went up. Again, I'd prefer to go with Byrne's message which was well-written and understandable, something needed to keep this before the public.
