Patrick Byrne Petition to stop Naked Short Selling...... To: pcyhuang who wrote (3845) 9/25/2008 12:33:38 AM From: rrufff of 3846 STOP NAKED SHORT SELLING NOW! To: Our Elected Leaders From: Patrick Byrne & Concerned Americans America’s capital markets used to be the envy of the world. Now they are in turmoil — turmoil caused by manipulative and abusive naked short sellers! It is time for it to stop — and now. You are charged with overseeing and policing our capital markets. As long as naked short selling continues, our markets will suffer and you are not doing your job. That is shameful. Start doing your job — and now. Half-measures don’t work. We are in a deep enough financial crisis that you can’t waste any more time. Do the following — and do it now: 1. Put in place a market-wide mandatory pre-borrow requirement (like the SEC did in the 30-day July 15 emergency order that protected 19 financial institutions). 2. Create the obligation that if a naked short seller fails to deliver a share, the purchaser must force a mandatory buy-in (this is the rule in Canada where it works). 3. Track trades cradle-to-grave (rather than net blocks of trades against each other), so that it is obvious who the naked short sellers are and the total amounts they are stealing. 4. Provide regular and timely disclosure by naked short sellers of when and how many shares they are failing to deliver. 5. Then enforce these rules (which should include significant monetary penalties and jail time). Our capital markets are too important to let greedy manipulators ruin them. Get these laws in place, police them, and help restore the economy you are charged with protecting.
