Your post surely ranks as one of the most stupid on SI.

wow...when you throw in the towel you throw in everything with it. funny, you make it sound like earnings slowing down, which have been brought on by increased interest rate hikes, higher oil prices, slower spending by corporate america, etc., have nothing to do with the stock markets. go back to economics 101.

You'd make Crackhead Bob proud. "Return the money to the markets before Banks start to collapse, and America once again is in a ssevere depression..." Ummm, pyramid schemes eventually collapse. Secondly, for every short who covers (and allegedly "brings" money to the market), there is someone else who is exiting. You should really think about calling AG & propose that he put a stop to selling, period. We should be forced into this pyramid scheme by our protective captors (you know, like the social security system....that's another grand pyramid scheme). "But pressuring the Shorted salespeople too do there bidding in markets other than the Nasdaq??" Don't worry. Already got that one covered. Besides, the naz is damn lucky to have us shorts out there doing their "bidding." Many believe this market has avoided collapse because of the liquidity provided by short covering. Because those longs getting liquidated sure wouldn't have been much help. The OTCBB is not ruined. Any legitimate company can have their shares traded on the OTCBB. In fact, some legitimate companies actually prefer to be traded there. If OTCBB were ruined, they would have left by now since they are capable of listing on NYSE, Naz, etc. You can thank Nas, regulators, institutions, etc. for any "ruin" that may eventually come to Nasdaq. Not the shorts. "and the same firms involved with the 29 fiasco, and Trashed America are at there finest again.." Yes, you can thank them for the welfare transfers they have made....from J6P's pocket to their own. Pretty neat, huh? In other posts you've mentioned institutions trading against their clients. There's only one problem with this....you don't define clients. Institutions clients are not J6P....they're the corps. & the insiders who need to get their stock distributed. So, the institutions are really trading against they're primary clients, rather, they're trading for them. And, the easiest way for J6P to prevent themselves from being a pawn in this bigboys gain is to leave the game or find a different way to invest. I notice that you never blame those who are buying ridiculously priced stocks with 4 digit p/e's & growth requirements that will never occur. But, I guess I'm expecting too much. After all, you're proposing that pyramid schemes are a good thing & the higher the more over-valued the pyramid scheme, the better. Perhaps you missed the social uprising a few years back in an ex-Russian country over their stock market collapsing. They called it a pyramid scheme. "Short call in...thats what this country needs...and Right now... " I hope you are aware that nothing you stated prior to your conclusion at anyway supports or even leads to your conclusion. Your logic is highly flawed & your reasoning quite irrational. I hope you have at least gained some insight. Then again, the very fact you wrote what you have suggests my minor contribution will do very little. Yet, there is some hope. In another post, you wrote, "Brokers must call in all short positions..Markets will turn and rally, Presidential uncertainty will not matter, provide these markets with liquidity again, save face for analysts who have 1-500% price target gains...." Please clarify one thing for me....are you being sarcastic? I sure hope so. But, if not, I'd encourage you to learn more about how financial markets work, both the micro-transactions & the macro-environment in which they persist. I do wish you well in your investing endeavors. Good luck, Chris P.S. I decided to spend a little more time than usual responding to your post b/c it was just to absurd.

Ottuckie, I'd advise you to familiarize yourself with reality before commiting any capital to trading. The first step is to find out what is the short interest versus market capitalization. The second step is to learn that short sellers buy when no one else wants to do so. If you insist on hanging on to half baked conspiracy theories, you should stick to index mutual funds for your investing capital. Regards, Barb

Just when one begins to think every fricken moron has been taken out behind the barn, had his pockets emptied and then been shot, you come up with that nonsensical crap. It's real simple dude: that crap wasn't worth 20% of what you paid for it. And now it's going past that to make up for the overswing. I sure hope you're "in for the long haul." Cause then you'll realy be done.
