ruff,

one more thought on the e-trade story I served as a link. Let us imagine that we two are the owners of small company that produces chairs. Business is running quite well and we sell our chairs to a growing community of customers.

Another company opens a web shop offering our chairs...brand new ones but a lot cheaper than ours. We haven´t sold these chairs to them but obviously they have a lot of our chairs...

Price for our chairs declines from week to week, so we have to sell them at a smaller price. Customers of the online shop that require delivery of the chairs will get the answer that they can sell the chairs (that they dont have physically) and that delivery could take time. But the online shop continues to sell even more chairs and each day they are available at even lower prices.

When customers of the online shop start to take legal action against the shop (they want their chairs now) the online shop passes the orders and the responseability to another online shop that informs the buyers that they will deliver within 13 days...and continue to sell our chairs even cheaper.

And IF they want to cover the orders they buy our chairs at lowest prices one day and cover the customer orders with a huge gain while we and our company running dry.

Maybe we should start to allow taxing shares negative. Why not have a shareprice of -12 dollar. That would complete the picture of a perverted trading.
