a 2nd petition to sign....these really go hand in hand Patrick Byrne Petition to stop Naked Short Selling...... To: pcyhuang who wrote (3845) 9/25/2008 12:33:38 AM From: rrufff of 3846 STOP NAKED SHORT SELLING NOW! To: Our Elected Leaders From: Patrick Byrne & Concerned Americans America’s capital markets used to be the envy of the world. Now they are in turmoil — turmoil caused by manipulative and abusive naked short sellers! It is time for it to stop — and now. You are charged with overseeing and policing our capital markets. As long as naked short selling continues, our markets will suffer and you are not doing your job. That is shameful. Start doing your job — and now. Half-measures don’t work. We are in a deep enough financial crisis that you can’t waste any more time. Do the following — and do it now: 1. Put in place a market-wide mandatory pre-borrow requirement (like the SEC did in the 30-day July 15 emergency order that protected 19 financial institutions). 2. Create the obligation that if a naked short seller fails to deliver a share, the purchaser must force a mandatory buy-in (this is the rule in Canada where it works). 3. Track trades cradle-to-grave (rather than net blocks of trades against each other), so that it is obvious who the naked short sellers are and the total amounts they are stealing. 4. Provide regular and timely disclosure by naked short sellers of when and how many shares they are failing to deliver. 5. Then enforce these rules (which should include significant monetary penalties and jail time). Our capital markets are too important to let greedy manipulators ruin them. Get these laws in place, police them, and help restore the economy you are charged with protecting. Sincerely, Patrick Byrne & Concerned Americans After you have added your name to this petition an e-mail will be sent to the given address to confirm your signature. Please make sure that your e-mail address is correct or you will not receive this e-mail and your name will not be counted. mainstreetamericans.info

End of Month & End of Qtr, don't be afraid to be hedged here, because there will be significant redemptions from funds. The vote on the bailout plan will take place this week, but it will be weeks until this new cash finds it's way into the system. We are seeing a major selloff in European banks & global markets (John Paulson nails another one) and there's a good chance more U.S. banks mail fail in the interim. And it would not surprise me to see the Bankster-gangsters collapse markets right before all this new money floods the system. The main beneficiaries of (re)inflation are those who get the money - first. And they will not want to see gold, an inflation trade on commodities, or a rebound in the markets take place before they get their hands on this fresh cash. Could be a rough next couple of days & weeks before this flood of new bailout money finds it's way into the market. Don't be afraid to short, buy puts, or use reverse (Short) ETF's to hedge your long positions, including gold shares. If you hold illiquid small caps... familiarize yourself with the gold short ETF's - DZZ, DGZ, and 2 x gold shares short HGD.to (HZBSF). A tsunami of money is coming, just don't get pulled under by the rip tide before it arrives. We got a nice little trading pop here... do NOT give it all back. S.O.T.B.
