For Monday - ES did not have a pullback all day Friday. It basically traded up. Short this booger hard on Monday morning and then ride it back up on Tuesday or Monday afternoon if it recovers.

[ascientificmethod]

Now the ES short opportunity is even HUGER now! GIANT wall on the ask! Today's run has NOT had a pullback!

VRSN is probably going to have huge business for Identity management (think tokens (those things you plug into your computer and type the password at the same time) Anyway countries such as Brazil there is not protection for credit card users, they are going to do well in this area, I work FOR VRSN but believe shorting it right now for more than a day is probably a bad idea.
The time to buy was after the laptops with sensitive informaion got stolen! (late June) right afer there. Then it came back.
The company needs to stick to the core business : internet security/ identity proof, not try and get into telco even more etc..

UPTICK RULE ends today..


May 2, 2005 (FinancialWire) Companies on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation SHO Threshold list can cry and scream all they want, but in terms of downside volatility, they ain’t seen nothing yet according to General Electric’s (NYSE: GE) CNBC commentator and TheStreet.com (NASDAQ: TSCM) founder Jim Cramer, as the Uptick Rule comes to a crashing end today.

Among companies at the head of the class have been Novastar Financial (NYSE: NFI) and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO).

In a RealMoney.com column, Cramer called the suspension of the Uptick Rule the “Hedge Fund Relief Act.”

One of the key hedge funds reputedly shorting upwards of one-third of the Threshold firms on the New York Stock Exchange as well as one-fifth of the NASDAQ list is Rocker Partners, LLC, and Helmsman Holdings, both reputedly headed by David Rocker. Companies alleged to be short by Rocker are posted at http://www.webspawner.com/users/rockerscam/index.html

“Because they won't have to wait for an uptick in order to short, hedge funds will do so with reckless abandon. Expect to see companies that mess up taken down harder and faster and more short squeezes. Get ready to see more volatility, i.e., downside action,” warned Cramer.

“You probably aren't even aware of it. Most people don't even seem to think it is important. It's a two inch story at the bottom of page C-4 of The Wall Street Journal,” Cramer noted. “How fitting, though; just like a two-inch block of C4, the plastic explosive, this little note could take the market to kingdom come if used incorrectly. And it will be.

“Here's the deal. Right now, when a company reports a bad quarter and you aren't long it, you have to wait to short until you get an uptick, or you can go into the put market and get a dealer to make a market in puts for you. He has to lay off his short himself, so it really doesn't matter; you can't get a good price and it is cumbersome.

“So, often you just give up. Oh, Molson (NYSE: TAP) reported a bad quarter, eh? Well, I can't get an uptick, no one will pay me a higher price for it and the put market's too illiquid, so on to the next.

“Not anymore,” said Cramer. Starting today, “hedge funds can sell shares short just like they sell them long: with reckless abandon. You could see some real nasty things happen to companies that mess up. You will see them banged down harder and faster than you would ever believe.

“The corollary is true, too, though. You will see some real squeezes upward because people will be much more reckless in what they short and when.

“This rule change, of course, couldn't come at a worse time. The market's terrible. Longs are beleaguered, shorts are emboldened. I think it is fair to say that things are about to get a lot worse, a lot faster for the stocks of bad companies without the slowdown circuit breaker of the uptick rule. But the SEC, in its non-infinite wisdom, dreamed this little doozy up and all I can tell you is that you ain't seen nothing yet.”

Cramer said this rule is “enough to make me want to get back into the hedge fund game. This new rule would have been a license for me to print money on the short side. Not that the SEC would know that kind of stuff, though. It's too busy worrying about the small stuff.

“Get ready for some real volatility, which, of course, is just a code word for downside action!”

Adding to the “Hedge Fund Relief Act” is the fact that those using illegal naked short selling in the past have been granted a kind of amnesty for acts before the first of 2005. The SEC just “grandfathered” those illegally-begotten gains and resultant counterfeit shares into the system, so these windfall gains are now available to downtick with reckless abandon on downticks.

The “grandfathering” admission is at http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/keyregshoissues.htm

In the same document, the SEC has inexplicably stated that not all forms of illegal naked short selling, the equivalent of counterfeiting shares in public companies, are actually “illegal.”

The DTCC actions in the StockGate mire are the most serious, if not notorious since the agent of two SROs, the New York Stock Exchange and NASD is also peopled by some 21 directors whose companies, such as Merrill Lynch & Co. (NYSE: MER), State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), are unlikely to support the DTCC in what attorney Marshal Shichtman, Esq., has termed “strong-arm” tactics.

The DTCC has admitted it has engaged in an act of censorship of this newsletter in squelching its redistribution by Investors Business Daily, and via Investors Business Daily, to Yahoo Finance, a portal owned by Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), and it is a suspect in the sudden and so far unexplained “postponement” of a widely anticipated expose by Dateline NBC.

RC-Mexico's Radio Centro Loses $21 Million Arbitration; Shares Drop
Look for dead cat bounce to continue, with an upday on monday. Depending, may look to enter at end of day, with HOD as stopout. This thing broke key level of support, and next level is at the $3 range. Have never really shorted before, so any imput please. Noticed almost half of the total assets is goodwill. Will a case like this force them to write down their goodwill value in near future? I have no idea.

NASD members must make an affirmative determination for all short sales prior to executing the sale (absent an exemption), including short positions not carried overnight.

Senior Vice President and General Counsel
Knight Securities, L.P.

Jersey City, N.J. 07310

Re: Rule 3370(b)(2)(B)

Dear Mr. Dorsey:

This letter responds to your request for NASD Regulation, Inc. ("NASD Regulation") to reconsider its interpretive position under National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") Rule 3370(b)(2)(B) with respect to the timing of the affirmative determinations members must make to effect proprietary short sales. The long-standing position of NASD Regulation on this issue is that firms must make an affirmative determination for all short sales prior to executing the sale (absent an exemption).1 You have asked NASD Regulation to consider altering this interpretation and require firms to make an affirmative determination only when they will carry short positions overnight.

NASD Regulation has carefully considered your request, but has determined to retain the current interpretation. I have enclosed a copy of a recently-issued Notice to Members wherein NASD Regulation reiterates, and states the rationale for, this position.2

I hope this letter is responsive to your inquiry. Please note that the opinions expressed in this letter are staff opinions only and have not been reviewed or endorsed by the Board of Directors of NASD Regulation. This letter responds only to the issues you have raised based on the facts as you have described them in your letter, and does not necessarily address any other rule or interpretation of the NASD or all the possible regulatory and legal issues involved.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions about this issue.

Sincerely yours,

Remember when he said six months ago to short anything trading above 3x net present tangible book value? Remember how he has been saying that for the past two years? Now he is saying short anything trading above 2x net present tangible book value. Where is the real growth coming from? Not from lower rates? Not from real economic growth? Not from expansion of the money supply? Not from a revaluation of the dollar? Not from the Saudi's pulling out 800B in liquid US assets? Not from your mothers coin collection? Well where is the real money Mr. Federal Reserve Banker and Mr. Pitt?

Penny King Holdings Corporation, a Delaware Investment Holding Company.

[thepennyking]

Guess he was right, now he is shorting again, anything trading above 2x net present tangible book value per share, 800K open short on this one...the market bounce is over....time for the FED to step in and show us the real money!

Penny King Holdings Corporation, a Delaware Investment Holding Company.

[thepennyking]

This is a $20.00 stock trading at above 6x reported book value with actual net present tangible value in negatory. Short 8MM shares daily till it reaches two times net present tangible book value....the Saudi's are selling out America...and shorting based on the above formula...

>>> SHORT: OMC audited by Arthur Andersen,...

has NEGATIVE $2 Billion Tangible Assets....

http://biz.yahoo.com/fin/l/o/omc_qb.html

http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/020627/29069.html

I bet Moody will downgrade OMC's Debt and general prospects, shortly... There is little doubt in my mind that OMC has misrepresented its financial picture to support its stock price and that we're just looking at the tip of the iceberg, at present...

In early June, KPMG replaced Arthur Andersen and we should soon hear about what bothers them in the accounts, such as a potential Seneca $280 million write-off and undisclosed acquisitions earn-out contingently worth $350 million, to be treated as business expenses, rather than acquisition related...

Also, it's likely that the SEC, will widen it's enquiry concerning the resignation of the Audit Committee Chairman on concerns of improper corporate governance... In the meantime, the Class Action Suits keep piling up nicely...

I recieved this from a friend, do with it what you want! If it were me recieving this message the least I'd do is watch it to see if he's right!

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/espd.html

Trading above 3x book value, pending news announcements. Watch it and tell me if I am correct after their earnings announcements next week. I am going to short 1 million shares at current price and will buy it back under $10.00 for 33% return over two weeks to cover. Spread between bid/ask is $6.00. Pass it on to your friends and associates if you so desire.

Spam attacks have been so numerous lately that there has been a board created just for the purpose of reporting it!
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/board.asp?board_id=516
The following message came from Matt, with the creation of the new board I have taken the liberty of changing the reporting method.

All Chairs / How Chairmen are to handle Spam

3. They will delete all of his posts @ click of a button.

4. It's important for Chairman to do this, because they are helping the whole community by pointing this out. Don't just say "Hey, keep your spamming to yourself!" Delete that sucker and let the Admin know.

Since you will find this posted on several boards I'll address the issue of me spamming here and now! Yes, I'm spamming against spam, report this to Bob right away!
