Management? ...SEC ...Surely you jest?! Management has always played "the pea" for the brokerage industry's shell game. And since 1932, the SEC has stood by slapping an occasional swipe of lipstick on the pig and inviting the worlds rubes to play. Bringing this up on conference calls won't get you anything more than lipstick on your collar. Just think about the amount of money you could make selling products and never delivering it to the buyer. Now consider how much that is when the glorious accounting industry doesn't even require it to be accounted for as income... Can you say completely tax free? Now tell me how many people have died in wars and alley ways trying to hang on to rights, privileges and entitlements worth no where near as much as this naked short scam. No Mr. C... Any fix for this RICO operation we call a stock market will likely require some real bloodshed. But at the very least it will destroy the current stock market which looks to me like no more than a manipulated trading system which cannot exist in the absence of such counterfeit leverage. How does the biggest debtor in the history of the world, produce a relative negative volume of goods for the world, consume more world resources than anyone else in the world... and yet get to maintain the world's largest "investment" market? Yes... It's a trick question... But Don Corleone knew the answer. <Hoo><Ack><Phatooie!> 0\|0

It's not that simple. If you watched the Jim Cramer interview and the flap it's caused, you've learned the big guys and hedge funds can do anything they want with pps of any stock they decide to attack. HAP

I've been playing the market for over 50 years and it has been rigged the whole time. It is more than just shorts. Listing companies will hold hands with brokerage firms, allowing them to do what they want with the stock so that the one time the company will need their cooperation, they will be there. Secondary issues etc. We have seen it with RMTR for quite some time. If you have a really good software showing the raw data on time and sale you see it all of the time. I don't use that software any longer, as I simply don't care. I have the last positions I will take in this lifetime, and no longer require minute to minute information. You guys can worry about it. I'm through.
