Looks like the SEC has dealt NITE a major blow!!
AlertEmailPrintShare By MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The battle raging around the short-sale rule approved Wednesday by a 3-2 vote before the Securities and Exchange Commission is more than a clash about where to set the limits for the shorts, it's about the purpose of investing.
After more than a year of debate, commissioners approved curbing short sales of a stock after it falls 10% in one day. In spirit, it resurrects the old uptick rule, a Depression-era law that only allowed investors to take short positions on stocks that rose, or ticked higher. The law was removed in 2007. See Market Pulse on SEC ruling.
Mary Schapiro
"It is a rule that is designed to preserve investor confidence and promote market efficiency," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, who backed the proposal.
In reality, the rule is a compromise. On one side are issuers and traditional long-term investors who believe in a company's prospects. On the other side are short-term traders interested in making fortunes on the trade and the sentiment.
Short-selling is a traders' game. It's the purview of hedge funds and market professionals. Selling a stock is one thing. Shorting a stock in hopes for reaping a profit on the back of the long-term investors -- short positions must borrow stock from investors not looking to sell -- is quite another. Shorts create a self-fulfilling prophecy of downward pressure on a stock as they pile into a position.
News Hub: Bernanke Heads to Congress
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke will update Congress on monetary policy this morning. The question-and-answer session might prove illuminating, Kelly Evans reports on the News Hub.
This isn't to say short-selling doesn't have its purposes. Many run-of-the-mill investors use short sales as a hedge. They limit losses for themselves and their clients. Short selling is here to stay.
Setting an artificial limit at 10% might give some comfort to the SEC, but the buy-and-hold crowd shouldn't feel much comfort. Ten percent is a pretty long way to fall. By the time a stock slides that much, the damage is already done.
It's been fashionable of late to dismiss Depression-era reforms like the uptick rule as antiquated. The world is more complicated these days, we're told. Back then, they believed in naive notions about investing: buy when you like a stock, sell when you don't.
That simple idea spurred a six-decade run of market confidence. Today, we've got compromise.

All that stuff we be proven wrong in the near future
Welcome aboard!
Nice day Treaty!
At this point...Current pps up 44%
11 million
I'm at 11m shares looking to pick up another 500k
I agree
I keep waiting for oil to get to $30 but it seems to be going the opposite way. LOL
The Alonzos were bought out by a individual investor, and if you don't believe it ask some PBLS former employees. And realistically, TECO money went to PBLS. The PBLS people that come on here are dead wrong about any PBLS money going to TECO. It was the exact opposite!
You conveniently left out an important part: The Alonzo's were bought out of their involvement in Treaty so none of that really matters now does it.
Welcome back ericshon
Have you ever considered a career with the SEC? Wall Street would be a much better place with more people like yourself performing audits on growing companies. You know, keeping everyone in check and all investors informed.
jmo, Treaty does not have to pr why an 8k hasn't been filed.
It's great that Treaty has shareholders who scrutinize the company more than the SEC.
The only thing I can tell you is that RB and PA were involved with PBLS, a pinky, and this is TECO, a fully reporting company. I'm sure Randall has a good explanation of why an 8k hasn't been filed and we will soon find out.
They investigate individuals within companies Caprock, and back in Dec you made a statement claiming that "they" were investigating TECO. Since you seem to be in the "know", please update us on the investigation. Are they investigating Randall, Joe, or Dan? Because those individuals are the only people that work for TECO and I find your claim highly unlikely.
Your exactly right, let me clarify my statement. If Treaty entered into a LOI and a pr and 8k filed, if the deal was then abandoned an additional 8k must be filed. Treaty is a fully reporting company and has been completely transparent.
What ever happened to the big FBI investigation? lol
Note to self...Do background checks on every single stockholder of every company I invest in! Wait... then there would be nothing to invest in! Lmao
I was roflmao about the FBI investigation comment on here because I thought they investigated individuals and not company's. Do they have a new division?
IMO, Previous management really screwed things up in Texas and had previous issues with the landowner that could not be fixed, which is why they were eventually replaced.
Treaty is not required to file an 8k unless the deal has either closed or cancelled. It seems that any deal that was pr'd and not 8 k'd is still moving forward. Treaty does not and should not have to issue a pr to update shareholders on every step of their due dilligence process of every deal that a LOI is signed upon.
Ok whatever. lol Face it were a REAL company now!
Non-investors that have nothing better to do then spend time on message boards bashing stocks...how funny
Production starts tomorrow!!! PPS soon to follow! This will not be a 2 cent stock very much longer.
I will continue to buy shares, millions more than some people on here. Do you really believe that the Kansas deal was structured where the terms couldn't be met? Come on now, let's be honest here. Hypothetical numbers don't fly in the real world, especially when doing business with a succesful company that's been in business for decades.
Keep doubting...and we will continue to prove the pbls people wrong.
We have a real production company now. Treaty takes over production on Monday. This stock will be moving in the near future. If you want to dump, go for it. There are plenty other energy companies out there with only letter of intents and no production that you can bitch about. We are real, fully reporting, and ready to roll!
lol, your starting to dig deep, heating oil....lol

PR is five weeks late
no funding, no oil, no revenue, no news; this is not transparency.
Viki, Where did you get this information? LMAO
Important DD for investors: Treaty has kept it's promise and CLOSED two deals with many more to come.
Treaty Energy= Fully Reporting Company
Treaty cannot restrict ex ARGY owner from desperately dumping his stock. imo he has to be almost out
Kansas Deal Closes!!!!!!!!
Great point, sometimes we need the "no spin zone" around here. lol
We could be at .026 in 15 minutes with good news.
Viki, I love it when you post on here because it usually means something good is about to happen.
You must mean ex ARGY owners, and yes I wouldn't be shocked if that were the case.
I agree Aspen, the timing wasn't right on the first deal and it's a small deal. We are primed for a big pop here in the near future, leaving all the doubters with their jaw dropped and another excuse to search for.
Good thing they didn't put a date on when the website will be updated to include the wells! If it takes Treaty one day longer then anticipated, we all know what happens.
It took us longer than anticipated but at least Treaty is building good relationships from scratch and no more worries about leftover baggage that came with the old leases. Hard work is finally coming to fruition, and this first little deal imo will be Treaty's smallest. Things will more than likely get bigger and better from here on out.
