It was easy to keep on topic when the interference of the government in the daily markets was at a minimum. They want to bring back the uptick rule now. Last fall they suspended short selling on 1000 stocks after suspending it on financials in the summer. They bailed out the banks, saving the common and preferred holders while hosing the taxpayers. They want to modify mark to market accounting, changing their books from decaying trash to Dior scented boutique holdings. The rules keep changing, but they don't change the rules they need to change: -Issue a moratorium on new credit default swaps. -Regulate credit default swaps as insurance policies. -Reduce all banker and broker leverage to Fed banking levels of 12:1. -Reintroduce Glass Steagall -If your name is Geithner, Summers, or Rubin, you are only allowed to communicate about sports, feminine hygeine, external anal itch, or American Idol. Any communication regarding finance, markets, or the economy would result in these individuals being airdropped over Taliban controlled territory in Afghanistan with signs around their necks stating in Arabic, "Please make love to me, Mr. Taliban."
