I have a couple of questions on this article. Where did he come up with 5.3%? I always thought it was 5 even. Are companies still doing the poot warrant biz? I thought after the SEC slapped Dhell and Softie and a few others, that biz stopped. Especially with the share price implosion.

>>Lastly, corporations should not be permitted to operate in their own puts and calls, as many tech companies have done. The potential for conflict there is so obvious that I can't believe it's been allowed to take place.<< Fleck for head of SEC. Who knows, the day may come. If the bottom really falls out, as some expect, this is exactly the type of thing to complain about to Congress when it's in a listening mood. That and the conflict of interest for financial analysts who work for institutions which sell stock or underwrite stock offerings. I wonder how many people would worship Abby Jo if she had to give a disclosure that she works for a company that makes money by selling stocks? "Warning - the advice I am giving you is designed to enhance my personal financial benefit." We're all old enough and battle-scarred enough to know it but there's a new sucker born every minute.

I Wonder If Requiring The Fund To Disclose Their Daily Trades Including The Time And Price 30 days after the close of the quarter would be enough. I would love to know who was buying some of this garbage this afternoon.
