>>>"A paragraph to key on"<<< Naked short selling can turbocharge these "distort and short" schemes. In a naked short, the usual process of short selling is circumvented, because the seller doesn't actually borrow the stock and simply fails to deliver it. For this reason, naked shorting can occur even when actual shares aren't available in the market. It allows manipulators to force prices down without regard to supply and demand. Hi ruff, Fwiw, an old and dear friend who is a PI by trade and whom I trust without reservation called me during the session when Cox, Paulson and Bernanke were being alternately grilled and massaged last week on TV. He said his voice stress analyzer was registering in the 'red' for some of Bernanke's testimony, most of Cox's testimony and 'off the meter' for all of Paulson's . I don't know how effective these VSA's are, especially when using an HDTV audio signal, but he claims those three were 'BS'ing the troops from the get-go!' As if we needed confirmation..... LOL!
