You have a strange set of values that leads you to the conclusion that filthy words grab peoples attention and shake them up.Most usually it gets the offender's posting privileges revoked.
IagreeIalsodon'tthinkso. But one thing I do know is that your language is offensive.
You obviously don't know Verges.
Therein lies the real problem. The general investing public has yet to garner any modicum of understanding about naked shorting and the roles the DTCC and the SEC play. Naked shorting is notnew.Its been growing on us for about 20 years now. It is only the rcenet very major financial scandals involving someof the biggest companies in our country that the spotlot has started showing this fraud for what it is, But shouldn't we really expect that the SEC would not enforce their SGHO regulation. After all should they do so they'd be penalizing the people they used to work for (Wall Street)I wish there were some way to tie the huge year end bonuses handed out by wall street to the amount of naked shorting the firm engages in.
Should the average investor really grab ontonaked shorting it would start the second emancipation in this country.
Why don't you do as I did and just ignore him. I don't think heis EVEN because that ba ---rd had a much more sophisticated manner of writing his trash.
Interesting web site addressing stock fraud

There are legitimate reasons at times that interfere with normal delivery. For example, a shareholder fails to deliver his shares to the broker because he died. There can be several such reasons and some times there is a legitimate reason for long delays to occur.But normally you are correct if the shares are held in an account by the broker.
Didn't know that -thanks
Then sell ( which I doubt you can do) and move on. Your self assumed mission to protect others is not appreciated.That's why you were booted off the Raging Bull.
Look at it this way-The DTCC is the goose that feeds the gander called Wall Street. Prime example is the grandfathering of naked shorting that took place before SHO became effective.
I don't know the answer but it would seem to me that should you wish to short a stock held in a 401K plan you'd have to remove it from that plan first. While held in the plan it is not available for delivery
Were there a way to ignore you I'd do so.You've been thrown off the Raging Bull for your atrocious and defamatory posts so now you vent your spleen here???

Creative solutions facilitate imaging of obese patients
Conventional wisdom holds that CT is the modality of choice for imaging obese patients. In two education exhibits presented at the RSNA meeting, researchers stressed the need to develop creative solutions to the challenges posed when imaging these patients.
“CT is an attractive modality for imaging obese patients due to its versatility, availability, and speed. However, the protocols available for CT scanners do not address optimal imaging methods for massively obese patients, especially for routine (e.g., nonbariatric surgery) indications,” said radiologists from the University of Chicago led by Dr. Michael Vannier.
Wide-bore CT scanners, some up to 85 cm, are now available. Some provide high-capacity tables for patients weighing up to 615 pounds (270 kg). ImPACT published a report on these scanners earlier in 2005, the authors said.
Maximum dose per section is required for very obese patients. This can be achieved by decreasing the rotation time and increasing the section collimation and mAs.
“Image noise can be reduced by reconstructing thicker sections (up to 1 cm) and by using soft convolution kernels. With multislice scanning, low pitch factors are required to enable high mAs settings,” Vannier said. “Some authors have suggested that additional contrast is needed, but we found higher doses are not required, provided the image noise is as low as possible.”
The group included its recommended protocol for body imaging (e.g., chest, abdomen, and pelvis):
140 kVp, manual technique (>400 mAs)
0.75 to 1 sec/rotation
32 x 1.25 mm (using 40- and 64-slice scanners)
16 x 1.5 mm (16-slice systems)
axial, coronal, sagittal series with 5-mm slice thickess at 4-mm intervals
50-cm FOV, 512 x 512 matrix
In another education exhibit, Dr. Raul N. Uppot and colleagues from the department of radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital took a multimodality approach.
For fluoroscopy, the weight limit is 350 pounds and girth limit is 45 cm. The respective figures are 350 pounds and 60 cm for closed-bore MRI, 450 pounds and 70 cm for abdominal CT, and 500 pounds and 44.7 cm for vertical field/open MRI.
Maximizing equipment settings is also important. Positioning, attenuation, large surface area, field-of-view, and artifacts must all be addressed to optimize image quality.
A common problem in x-ray and angiography examinations is inadequate penetration of the x-ray beam due to attenuation and depth. This results in increased noise, decreased contrast, and motion artifacts. The area of examination may also exceed the size of the largest plate (14 x 17 inch). Greater penetration may be achieved by increasing the kVp setting of the chest x-ray from 95 to 100, the mAs setting from two to four, and film development speed from 400 to 800. Using a grid and multiple plates may help.
For ultrasound scans of obese patients, using the lowest frequency transducer (2 mHz) and pushing on the transducer can help, the authors said. For nuclear examinations, using the highest field gamma cameras, increasing the imaging time (and therefore counts), and putting patients on stretchers can yield better results.
Possible solutions in CT include changing from fixed to automatic mAs, decreasing gantry rotation speed from 0.5 to 1 sec, and checking images before cropping. For MR examinations, the authors suggest maximizing the FOV and cushioning the patient to avoid minor burns.

Were I asked -I would heartily support your proposals.
At to make it even worse naked shorting with the attendant failuretodeliver has been going on for about 25 years .It is nothing new but the sheer volume of trades each day is forcing recognoition by the public. IMO the huge annual bonuses distributed by Wall Street firms are mainly based upon illict gains from naked shorting.
NMKT is not a candidate for tax loss savings unless you are willing to forego a possible leap on news. Should you sell now you cannot buy back in until late January 2006.
I concur with your remarks about the DTCC. But I completely reject you demand for stopping any shorting.To have a balanced free market place an investor has to have more than a choice to hope for increase in share price. As long as a market goes up and down the choice of which way to bet is basic and will continue to be available for investors to express their choice.Legitimate shorting is a necessary element for a market place. But there is no justification for grand fathering naked shorting and then not enforcing the rules to prevent fuirther naked shorting. You are adamantly commiteed to eliminating all shorting. So be it. I'll not comment on your position again. You have every right to express your view.
It wasn't a conference but rather a controlled forum. The chair managed it to meet his own desires butI agreed with his position that the SEC had best get their act together,. As public recognition of this severe problem with SHO enforcement is growing a Tsunami is building-IMO.
Wasn't the China operation funded by a $1 million private placement??
Attended the dinner. How since you are obviously not a shreholder./
Good sale! But more fundamental is the future of this company. Dilution has paid the bills for about 25 years now. But with the recent downgrade in share price and the threat of delisting such cannot continue.More dilution will insure delisting so that option is currently unavailable.Only other path still open is for a stock split.
The market goes up and the market goes down.Legitimate basic shorting is as necessary as buying in anticipation of a rise.What's good for the goose is good for the gander. There cannot be an opencompetative marketplace without bets being allowed in bothe the up as well as the down direction. Naked shorting is something else.
I attended that forum. The post you made is a good summary but I must point out that those present including panel members put up an abysmally week defense of SHO and the enforcement actions taken by the SEC. I previously posted the letter that the NASAA sent to the SEC detailing problems and recommended solutions to these long standing problems.Even the grandfathering clause didn't draw much favorable defense.I find it very disturbing that thye SEC apparently recognizes the illegality of naked shorting yet they let those who were caught off the hook with not even a slap on the wrist. Then they turn around and don't even bother to enforce their new regulation. Are those grandfathered now comlying--I doubt it.
I note most users of the NMKT message board on NMKT have placed you on ignore. You haven't been present here previously-did they drive you here??
No argument.
Lookimng forward to yopur post about the meetings. Hope you'll attend both???
Legitimate shorting is a valid and necessary adjunct to a market based trading system. But I do agree with your last sentence of your post.
The trade was executed as it was offered. The mistake was made by the brokerage firm and they took responsibility for it and swallowed their losses by buying the required number oof shares in the open market. They did meet the 4 day delivery time requirement that pertains in Japan.The Japanese firm exhibited an honest response to an honest human error. Not what we normally would expect in this country.. IT IS NOT BS as you think.
I expect that the two meetings scheduled for the coming week will set the base for much improved share price as well as company outlook.
It did not result in a naked short. The broker bought in shares on the open market and swallowed the loss his error caused. Delivery was made well withing the Japanese 4 day limit. The was no naked short involved.
Hopefully that will happen at the Meetings later this month.
A short becomes naked after failing to deliver the shares within three days of closing. That did not happen in this case.
The market has finally seen the results of Damadian's dictatorial control with his never ending dilution,a Board made up of old cronies. The attempts to influence Wall Street have been totally unsucessful. Watch out for a stock split so that a higher price will be available for future dilutions.The SU is superb-too bad it can't show the company the right eway to proceed.
Don't follow your remark as to naked shorting being involved. Just based on your post I find no indication there was any intent to naked short. Reads l;ike a human error instead.
NewMarket Technology Inc. Previews Dec. 15th Shareholder Town Hall Meeting On Aligning Market Value Growth with Sales and Profit Growth
Qtr to Qtr Revenue, Income and Shareholder Equity Has Grown Steadily at Double Digit Rates for Two Years As Market Cap Lags With Only 2% Increase
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2005--NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT) today released a preview of next week's 4th Annual Shareholder and Investor Town Hall Meeting. The main topic of the meeting will be aligning public market capitalization growth with sales, profit and shareholder equity growth by noting the following:
After two years of dramatic growth, the Company's public market capitalization value has increased by only 2%
Revenues have increased quarter-to-quarter on average by 40% over the last eight quarters
Shareholder equity has increased quarter-to-quarter on average by 29%
Average quarterly profit growth has exceeded 500% with notable significant increases in specific quarters that substantially increase the overall average
NewMarket ranked Number 13 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America
In spite of market leading results, the public market capitalization value (the number of issued and outstanding shares multiplied by the share price) has remained relatively unchanged
"The good news is that NewMarket's business continues to expand rapidly at a very healthy rate while establishing a sound financial foundation," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket. "The not so good news is that our share price and corresponding market capitalization does not reflect the Company's progress. I know our long-term shareholders are frustrated with the current share price and want to understand why the share price is not increasing in response to the Company's growth. Understandably, shareholders want to know what management's plans are to change this anomaly. They deserve an answer. I look forward to covering this subject directly at the Shareholder Town Hall with a presentation which will draw a clear picture of the dynamics influencing share price today. I will address what management acknowledges could have been done better over the past two years and how we are responding to lessons learned. In addition, the Company will cover Over the Counter market specific dynamics and how the share price correlates more strongly to the issued and outstanding rather than revenue, profit and shareholder equity performance. More importantly, I will present the Company's strategy to overcome Over the Counter market specific dynamics and shift the predominate share price focus from the issued and outstanding to the obviously solid financial performance. Shareholders and potential investors attending the Shareholder Town Hall or viewing the presentation online afterwards will find the presentation enlightening, if not surprising. Long-term shareholders will get the answers they deserve directly from management and interested new investors will find the qualifying investment criteria most require for their portfolios. All of us at NewMarket feel strongly that we are establishing a new category in the technology market and blazing a trail for the development of genuine businesses in the Over the Counter environment. We welcome all interested parties to come to the Shareholder Town Hall and learn why we are confident that NewMarket's growth and financial performance will be reflected in its share price in the near future."
The Annual Shareholder Town Hall Meeting will be held at the Marriott Town Center in Boca Raton on December 15th at 2:30 p.m. EST. A special meeting on the overall business opportunity environment in China, in addition to a review of NewMarket's operations and plans in China will be held the following day in Boca Raton on December 16th. NewMarket shareholders and interested investors are invited to attend both; however, seating will be limited for the China meeting.
Please contact Jessica Burnett at jburnett@newmarkettechnology.com or 214-722-3063 if you would like to attend either meeting.

I attended that forum and I agree with your remarks. It is incredible that the SEC promulgates regulations (SHO) and then seemingly ignores them. Even the role of the DTCC is murky. Who are the owners of this organization-find that and you'll understand my remark that putting the DTCC in the loop is akin to hiring the fox to guard the chicken coop.
You are right whehn you focus on regulations being enforced as solving many of todays market problems. Please read post #458 on this board .
When I sign on and go to the NMKT board two very old messages of mine always appear they are #2250 and 2251. Can you delete them for me please.
Yes market markers are needed. If a company ran the market in their own stock who would set the price. A free market place with enforceable regulation is mandatory.
Good bye.
