I never followed Overstock and don't have an opinion on the stock or Byrne as a CEO. From the surface, it certainly looks like he accomplished a miracle and compared to most CEO's, should be beatified.

Well, if you're at all interested in a view that scratches under the surface, you might want to look at these:

(I omitted part three, which I thought was kind of a letdown.)

The SEC has come out and asserted what we've been saying all along, that contrary to what the NCANS people have been screaming, inclusion of a stock on the SHO list is not direct evidence of abusive shorting in that stock. So now they say the SEC is part of the corruption, even though it's the SEC's list that they're citing as evidence in the first place.

I mean, they literally want it both ways: the list is sacrosanct, but the people who issue it and try to explain exactly what it does and does not mean, are considered corrupt. That just doesn't work for me.
