I thought those new rules were already approved! Crap. It will help EVERYBODY from good companies to honest pro's to investors.

Do you have any idea what the law number is?

Also, to clear up some confusion-- can individuals short BB or do the stocks have to be marginable to be shorted?

what about shares in lsk, ive been told that doesnt really help either, even if not in street name, bear stearns will lend shares in lsk without hesitation, even on fully reporting stocks. you are right about dgiv, it was an easy target, how many bb stocks can you name that are above 5 bucks that stay there for a long time based on merit, they are bb stocks for a reason. other than taking your profit when you can, there really is no choice but to try and time the runs in the bb world is there? the mm is holding all the cards, that is why i tell people that even though news is out it is no guarantee for a rise, the mm's will let a stock rise on merit on occasion, but they like good news on a stock even more than the holder, they can walk the stock down after a quick runup that sucks more money into their pocket then demoralize the shareholer even more. just watched this happen on infe.

ps. be back after dinner
