The Wall St. Journal article suggests that the SEC is proposing to modify, not repeal, short sale rules (probably temporarily, as a test) on only 100 to 150 stocks of large actively traded companies which would be difficult to manipulate. A short sale would still require an increase in the best bid. Presumably NASDAQ or OTCBB stocks would not be affected by this proposal as short selling in these securities is not regulated by the SEC. None of this certain as the SEC has not yet published their proposal. It appears that there will not be any change proposed for stocks trading 100,000 shares per day. Short selling will not drive any reputable company into bankruptcy. It could (and should) make it difficult for the scams whose main product is their own stock.

Excellent Post Rande; The shorting to suppress prices is most evident in low float stocks with accelerating sales and earnings. By way of example CAMP & WRLS are both under attack and have no relationship what so ever to the bubble companies of the last few years. My guess is that both of these stocks will be acquired within 90 days, as the shorts are working the float mercilessly to gain control. Right now is the time to be astute in the analysis of daily trade. Accumulation for the purpose of M&A activity will become the real story through the end of q1 2002. Many valuable small caps are just flat out creamed by the trade working the inside to get control. The behavior is outrageous, and effective as the managements of many of these companies are going to benefit big time by the acquisitions. Pay close attention to the lack of news, that is a sure sign that management is aware and in fact is complict in the takeover. These are but two of many examples of the action for M&A Activity going on right now. The shareholders will end up with CSCO paper or some other megalith's stock that is actually in distribution. This is phase two of the rape of the shareholder about to unfold.

Sorry Rande ... been busy today... see I look at it this way. SHorts (legal) want the uptick done away with and if big money is about to come then do what they did and nail the legal shorts. Of course the illegal shorts this does not matter because they recognize no rules whatsoever because what they are doing is illegal. Naked SHort Sellerism is what I am after which is the abuse and manipulation. LEgal shorting is get people to approve their property is being loaned without their knowledge and soforth. Those people that own the marginable securities that is their war. Me I am not after the legal ,,, I am after the illegal. Of course I expect the illegal screaming hey we brought the market up after they been scream 1000 ... The market went up today because CISO took them by surprise. Of course you realize those 100 stock for the test the shorts are not going to do anything to stop the lifting of the uptick rule. SO of bias but you are right ... But I do not have a problem with margin, puts and calls. Just the offshore and the illegals ripping off the markets. P2bAAAT & DSAS
