OOPS!!!	hobbit709	May 2012	#2
Where are the Matt Taibbi haters? They've failed to show for three articles in a row.	DCKit	May 2012	#3
I think they're all in Meta having cows over words.	hobbit709	May 2012	#4
An apt description of what goes on there.	RC	May 2012	#98
Taibbi haters are payed trolls. Perhaps they got sick to their stomachs and quit.	Scuba	May 2012	#6
There's only one---	trumad	May 2012	#20

Naked short selling is not illegal per se, neither are derivative transactions in general.	xtraxritical	May 2012	#26
I would argue that selling shares that don't exist, resulting in the share price dropping, is fraud.	Scuba	May 2012	#32
I would agree, subject to guarantees that the person or entity has no insider information.	stevenleser	May 2012	#66
Except that if you or I short a stock	gratuitous	May 2012	#72
Right, and I agree, but don't other financial rules come into play at that point?	stevenleser	May 2012	#74
And that's part of what this lawsuit is trying to unravel	gratuitous	May 2012	#79
It will be interesting to see what the investigation finds.	stevenleser	May 2012	#84

Apples to oranges. Read my post upthread. nt	stevenleser	May 2012	#78
Your post upthread is wrong.	jeff47	May 2012	#80
My post is not wrong, I understand the difference between the two quite well. nt	stevenleser	May 2012	#81
No, you really don't.	jeff47	May 2012	#83
Yes, I do. I am exclusively talking about naked short sales and my statements thus make sense. nt	stevenleser	May 2012	#86
