YOQNEAM, Israel, August 15, 2006 - Given Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIVN) today announced that Cancer, the official journal of the American Cancer Society, published the results of a retrospective study of PillCam SB concluding that PillCam™ capsule endoscopy offers physicians the best chance of finding tumors in the small bowel compared to other diagnostic tests and may lead to earlier detection and treatment. The study which was published in the July issue also found that 13% of patients diagnosed with small bowel tumors were younger then 50.
PillCam capsule endoscopy led physicians to discover the cause of dangerous intestinal problems in 49.3% of the study patients (n=277) who had previously undergone numerous diagnostic tests with inconclusive results, according to the researchers at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. PillCam SB capsule endoscopy led physicians to discover small bowel tumors in 8.9% (n=50) of the patients, the study concluded. Of the tumors diagnosed, 48% were malignant.
It was also observed that 9 of 67 patients (13%) under age 50 who underwent capsule endoscopy for obscure bleeding had small bowel tumors, making the incidence rate higher in this group than patients over 50. The researchers stressed the importance of searching for tumors in younger patients with obscure bleeding even if the anemia seems mild. While tumors are the second most common cause of small bowel bleeding after angioectasias, it was concluded that their timely diagnosis may be more important for improving a patient's survival rate. These conclusions were supported by previous research conducted by physicians at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Yale University Medical Center.
"This growing incidence of small bowel tumors suggests the need for better diagnostic tools as part of the standard work up of patients," Gena M. Cobrin, M.D., the lead investigator of the study, said. "Currently small bowel tumors are thought to account for 5% of all gastrointestinal tumors and 2% of cancers overall, but the numbers could actually be much larger because other current diagnostic modalities have proved inadequate. Capsule endoscopy's high yield may lead to earlier detection and treatment of small bowel tumors and an improved prognosis for patients with these neoplasms."
The American Cancer Society estimates that 6,170 people will be diagnosed with small bowel cancer in 2006, a 12% increase over 2005, and that 1,070 people will die from the disease.
Dr. Cobrin and physicians at Mount Sinai conducted a retrospective analysis of the charts of 562 patients who underwent capsule endoscopy from August 2001 to November 2003 for a variety of indications. The majority of the patients (n=443) were suffering from intestinal bleeding without a diagnosed cause. Overall, the patients had undergone an average of 4.2 tests each previously without conclusive results. The study was originally presented at the Digestive Disease Week conference in May 2004.
Numerous conditions such as tumors, angiodysplasias (abnormal collections of enlarged blood vessels), ulcers, erosions, and Crohn's disease can cause intestinal bleeding and subsequent anemia.
"We're very pleased that the American Cancer Society and Cancer have published this study demonstrating that capsule endoscopy can play a key role in identifying small bowel cancers earlier and thereby potentially improve the care of the small bowel cancer patient," said Skip Ashmore, Corporate Vice President of Small Bowel Products at Given Imaging. "We believe our third generation PillCam SB capsule will further assist physicians in detecting these cancers earlier."
It's like waiting for the Messiah to come back to us. Until such timme as the rotation of regulators to the regulated and vise versa is halted this will continue. NSS is the source of the christmas bonus money awarded to Wall Streeters by their firms. Even the largest are so engaged.

Marines are some of my favorite people.
THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER?
Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback linesof all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
You gotta love the Marines
A bit of exageration?? All longs are not down on the management. I for one am not and strongly support them.
Your vitriolic remarks re Verges lead ineviutably to the question as to why you still hold any shares in his company.
I believe you are incorrect in your statement that NMKT shareholders hold 100% of NMKT. Wasn't New Market China initially funded with a private placement???? If I am correct then those investors have to be counted.

World’s Largest Plasma TV: Priceless…For everything else, there’s Sharesleuth.com
By Mark Faulk
August 11, 2006
Some days you just can’t buy a break. What started out as a great week for Mark Cuban suddenly turned decidedly south on Friday, or maybe we should say that it turned north. North as in the first company that his own personal journalistic whore, Christopher Carey, profiled this past Monday on Sharesleuth.com.While shares of Xethanol (XNL-AMEX) have been falling steadily since shortly after Cuban began shorting the company on May 10, and the drop accelerated when his “journalistic newsletter” (winkwink) trashed the company this past Monday, the stock rallied on Friday, gaining over 10% for the day. At one point during the day, it traded as high $6.25 and was up over 22% on extremely high volume, before sellers and/or market makers managed to pull it back down to $5.63 on a few small trades at the end of the day.
Then, today it was reported that Cuban has so far been unsuccessful in efforts to be the first person in America to buy the world’s largest plasma TV. One astute observer compared Cuban to the spoiled Veruca Salt character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: “I want an oompa-loompa now, daddy.”
Cuban has courted controversy as an outspoken, irrational billionaire ever since he and his partner Todd Wagner sold Broadcast.com, to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999. He subsequently bought the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, was the brainchild behind a failed TV reality show called “The Benefactor” (for the 99.9% of Americans who don’t remember that little gem, it was basically a rip-off of The Apprentice, and lasted all of eight weeks), and once tried to start a hedge fund that would have bet on sporting events.
More recently, he was fined $200,000 by the NBA for screaming at referees and NBA commissioner David Stern after losing a playoff game two months ago “F*ck you! F*ck you! Your league is rigged!” Later on his blog, Cuban professed his love for cursing, when he said, in response to people who he said took offense at his cursing, “F*ck em.”
Trading stock before he releases negative reports on the company, trying to buy giant TVs before they go on sale, violating NBA regulations and using profanity to complain about losing a game…this is a person who clearly doesn’t feel that the rules that the rest of society have to abide by apply to him.

I was origiunally attracted to NMKT by the
approach to developoing a profitable new business as espoused by Philip Verges who is now the President of this company. I liked his operational philosophy well enough to become one of the eary investors in this emerging company. As time passed I increased my holdings as evidence of the success of his operations became clearer. This latest announcement of New Market China again is anothr example of his innovative bent and I doubt than any of the users on this board can possibly have an understanding of the difficulties he had to wade through to achieve this objective. Being slightly aware of how difficult it is to negotiate with Chinese companies I think that Verges had to exhibit great tenacity and forebearance in gaining his ultimate end.
We investors should see our profit posture materially advanced by this success.
Given Imaging Announces French Health System Completes First Step In Covering Pillcam ™ Sb
YOQNEAM, Israel, August 10, 2006 - Given Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIVN) today announced that the French National Authority for Health (HAS) has completed the first step in advancing universal reimbursement for PillCam SB capsule endoscopy for over 60 million French citizens. In late July, the HAS published a report that highly recommends the use of PillCam SB in patients with obscure gastro-intestinal bleeding and Crohn's disease following inconclusive first-line tests.
The HAS advises the French government on decisions related to the reimbursement of medical products and services. Its report, "Examination of the Lumen of the Digestive Tract by Ingested Video Capsule," was based on an extensive analysis of existing clinical data and opinions from leading French physicians. The report concludes that capsule endoscopy provides additional medical benefit and, as a result, recommends including capsule endoscopy in the list of reimbursable procedures, using the previously assigned code HZQE900 and CCAM classification 07.010.9.01 (CCAM = Classification Commune des Actes Médicaux). Receiving the code and recommendation for reimbursement from the HAS is regarded as the pivotal step toward achieving universal reimbursement for PillCam SB in France. The next step will be for UNCAM (Union Nationale des Caisses Assurances Maladies) to set a monetary value for the code which is expected to occur during 2007.
"We are extremely pleased with the HAS recommendation and believe that it sets the stage for universal access to PIllCam SB in France by 2007," said Homi Shamir, president and CEO of Given Imaging. "We expect other national health systems to follow France's lead and allow physicians to use PillCam capsule endoscopy to detect and monitor patients with small bowel illnesses."

THE PROBLEM WITH HIGH URINALS
A group of Kentucky second, third, and fourth graders,
accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to Churchill
Downs, the famous Louisville race track, to see and learn about
thoroughbred horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided
that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with
the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the
men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants,
and began hoisting the boys up, one by one, holding onto their "wee-wees" to direct the flow away from their clothes.
As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually
well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring, the teacher said, "You must be in the fourth grade."
HE REPLIED: .
"No, ma'am, I'm riding Silver Arrow in the 7th race today."

FOR THE OLDER CROWD
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know,
"that the medication you prescribed has
to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."

An older Jewish gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia
he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son;
do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me, your mother is going to come
and live with you and your wife...."

One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Ah, being young is beautiful,

She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting.

A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me."
Mildly irritated, he reached across,

Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my neck."
Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
Where are you going?" she asked.
" To get my teeth!"

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.
Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.
The woman's husband also comes home.
She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy: "I have a baseball." Man: "That's nice" Boy: "Want to buy it?" Man: "No, thanks." Boy: "My Dad's outside." Man: "OK, how much?" Boy: "$250"
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together. Boy: "Dark in here." Man: "Yes, it is." Boy: "I have a baseball glove." The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, How much?" Boy: "$750" Man: "Sold."
A few days later, the Dad says to the boy, "Grab your glove, let's go outside and have a game of catch."
The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my glove."
The Dad asks, "How much did you sell them for?" Boy: "$1,000" The Dad says, "That's terrible to over charge your friends like that...that is way more than those two things cost. I'm taking you to church, to confession."
They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Don't start that sh*t again; you're in my closet now."

Rumsfeld and the Generals
It surprises and alarms me that ongoing criticism of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld from several retired generals has not elicited deeper introspection by our president and Congress ["Rummy and his generals," June].
This disagreement with a secretary of defense is but a symptom of a more serious underlying problem. What we are seeing is the principle of civilian supremacy over the military run amok, and our commander in chief should be greatly concerned. We are witnessing the culmination of a 46-year trend, beginning with Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, during which the principle has gone from civilian oversight to prevent military mischief to civilian operational control of every facet of military affairs. I do not know Rumsfeld or the generals who have disagreed with him. My comments are directed at the system that I have watched grow up around the principle since the Defense Department's inception in 1947.
There are no villains — it just happened. Civilian presidential appointees, dozens of them highly accomplished in their specialties, aggressive, get-things-done type men, were placed in office during the past 60 years. Gradually, their numbers and responsibilities grew until they replaced military leaders and managers or pushed them down the chain. It is not too far off the mark to say that all military career fields (personnel, logistics, intelligence, operations, research and development, public information, operational testing and others) are now capped off by civilians. The arrangement that has evolved appears to harness highly competent civilians and highly competent military officers in a frustrating, perhaps unworkable, relationship that is breeding discontent and damaging the principle of civilian supremacy.
The enduring principle is embedded in the Constitution, which states: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices. ..."
This principle is hammered into our minds at West Point and ROTC and Officer Candidate School. It becomes a part of our being. Its acceptance in spirit and letter by American Army officers is a national treasure. If anything is sacred to the officer corps of the Army, that principle is, and I believe the same to be true of the other services. It is the third rail of military service. We won't touch it. If incoming presidential appointees demand control, they've got it — so powerful is the principle. As officers advance in rank, they gain a deeper understanding of the essentiality of the principle. Military organizations are potentially capable of the serious mischief that we see in rogue regimes around the world. Military officers can't imagine it happening in America, but we know in our hearts that military power needs watching.
In the current system, the civilian oversight role is vested in presidential appointees to Defense Department headquarters and the three service secretariats. It is unfortunate that when the National Security Act of 1947 created the Defense Department, it did not at the same time eliminate the service secretariats. The 1976 Defense Manpower Requirements Report recommended just that, but was ignored. The result is two suffocating layers of civilian oversight. As the structure and workaday arrangements for implementing civilian supremacy over the military evolved during the past six decades, the secretary of defense appears to have become the de facto deputy president and deputy commander in chief, presiding over an all-powerful defense headquarters.
The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines spend millions of dollars every year training and educating their officers from the most basic level up through strategic national-defense planning. Every four or eight years, a new defense secretary appears on the scene, bringing many of his own civilian crew with him. Educated, trained and experienced professional officers find themselves working under temporary-hire civilian bosses. It is not an even match. Sitting across the table in important negotiations, all that a civilian assistant secretary of something-or-other need do is to invoke an intonation of finality to the discussion and it usually ends. He may think the overwhelming power of his logic carried the day, but more likely it was the absolute power of the principle of civilian supremacy, so deeply is it inculcated into military officers.
So, our government faces a situation in which civilian supremacy has grown beyond oversight and now finds civilians in firm operating control of all aspects of military affairs. They took control, made some mistakes that tarnished the military profession, and are being held accountable. If the commander in chief and Congress consider the current interpretation and application of the principle to be the best arrangement for the well-being of the U.S., then so be it. The principle is sacrosanct.
However, if the current interpretation and application of the principle is not that which was intended by the Constitution and is not best for the nation, then it is up to elected civilian officials, specifically the president, Congress, and perhaps the Supreme Court, to say so and quickly do something about it. A comprehensive review is long overdue. Continued failure to conduct such a review will be an ultimate dereliction of duty.
The military can't handle this one and still retain its honored, subservient place in America's democracy. Reform must come from elected civilian leaders. Leaving retired generals and an embattled defense secretary to slug out a matter so complex and vital is not a reasonable option.

For those of you who don't like Dennis Miller, who is not Jewish, you may want to reconsider after reading his brilliant comments that follow. Please pass it on to your friends.
For those who don't know, Dennis Miller is a comedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO. Although he is not Jewish, he recently had the following to say about the Middle East situation:
"A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still don't get it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really need.
Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians."
As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians," weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation."
So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word "Palestinian" any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone points out they're being taped. Instead, let's call them what they are: "Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death."
I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters." Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing: No, they don't. They could've had their own country any time in the last thirty years, especially six years ago at Camp David. But if you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks and Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living.
That's no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course -- that's where the real fun is -- but mostly they want Israel.
Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or "The Zionist Entity" as their textbooks call it -- for the last fifty years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if you've ever been around God's Earth, you know that's really saying something.
It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and culture of the Muslim Mid east. Unless I'm missing something, The Arabs have n't given anything to the world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.
Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five Million Jews. Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals..
Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding.
My friend, Kevin Rooney, made a gorgeous point the other day: Just reverse the numbers. Imagine five hundred million Jews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not. Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab State into the sea? Nonsense. Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible. Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting.
Now, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death.
Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope. I understand that with vital operations in Iraq and others, it's in our interest, as Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible, and, after all, that can't be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of super models who've just had their drugs taken away.
However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing moral weight. We've already lost some. After September
11th our president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week (and then every day) start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them to show restraint.
If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan.
Are Deal Makers
On Wall Street
Leaking Secrets?
Trading Jumps Before Acquisitions
As Low Surveillance, High Payoff
May Be 'Recipe for Bad Behavior'
By SERENA NG and DENNIS K. BERMAN in New York and KARA SCANNELL in Washington
July 28, 2006; Page C1
As the boom in corporate takeovers continues, unusual trading in obscure investments or via offshore accounts is raising concerns about insider trading.
Suspicious trading patterns -- including increased activity and well-timed bets -- have cropped up in several companies' securities in advance of news of their involvement in big transactions, suggesting Wall Street's deal-making machine may be leaking confidential information.
The list includes deals both mammoth and modest: the just-announced $21 billion leveraged buyout of hospital operator HCA Inc.; the $1.7 billion buyout of Petco Animal Supplies Inc.; the $2.6 billion sale of Maverick Tube Corp. to Tenaris SA; and Anadarko Petroleum Corp.'s $21 billion offer for both Kerr-McGee Corp. and Western Gas Resources Inc.
Some of the trading is in a corner of the financial markets that hardly existed during past takeover waves, which featured questionable trades mainly in plain-vanilla stocks, bonds and options. In advance of the HCA deal, there was a notable uptick in trading in financial contracts tied to HCA's bonds -- derivatives known as credit-default swaps.
Credit-default swaps are private contracts intended to be insurance policies against a company going bankrupt, but they also allow investors to bet on the likelihood of a bond default and are especially popular with fast-trading hedge funds that cater to wealthy clients and institutional investors. The more likely a company is to default, the more expensive its credit-default swaps become. When a company is bought in a leveraged buyout, as is happening with HCA, it assumes dramatically more debt, increasing the likelihood of a default.
In the five days before news of a potential HCA deal was disclosed in The Wall Street Journal on July 19, the price of HCA's credit-default swaps rose 11%, according to data from Markit Group. The market was effectively betting that the likelihood of an HCA default was rising at a time when prices more broadly in that market were rising just 4%, as measured by a Dow Jones index for these instruments. Triad Hospitals Inc., whose contracts usually move in tandem with HCA, declined 2% during the same period, Markit data show. The difference was starker in the six weeks leading up to the news. HCA swaps rose 31% in price, while a broad market index rose 10%, and Triad rose 11%.
After HCA reached a deal with its private-equity sponsors, prices of its credit-default swaps rose more than 60% and its bonds dived in value.
A surge of trading in stock options tied to HCA stock in advance of news of the deal has attracted the attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission. On July 14, options traders bought and sold 10,322 options contracts, which gave buyers the right to purchase HCA stock at a fixed price in the future. By comparison, the average daily volume in call options during June was 1,142 contracts, according to data from Options Clearing Corp.
SEC officials say insider-trading enforcement actions have stayed relatively consistent in recent years. Since Oct. 1, 2005, the agency has brought 40 such cases; it had 42 such cases in fiscal 2004 and 52 in fiscal 2002.
But that could change as the takeover boom grows. A March study by England's equivalent of the SEC, the Financial Services Authority, found suspicious stock-price movements prior to 29% of the merger announcements it studied between 2000 and 2004. The study recommended more "visible enforcement action."
"Definitely something is going on. In the last few years, with all these hedge funds, there's probably a lot more leakage," says Narayanan Jayaraman, a Georgia Tech University professor.
To be sure, rumors are the markets' oxygen, and it can be difficult for regulators to prove the distinction between an ill-gotten piece of information and long-churning speculation that just happens to be true.
The merger market is changing in ways that have increased the possibility of leaks and the opportunities for players involved to profit from them before they are public. Deals are taking longer to play out and involve more deal makers. During the 1980s and 1990s, merger deals typically took a few weeks to consummate. In 1996, WorldCom Inc. spent two weeks from its first takeover discussion to seal its $12 billion deal for MFS Communications Inc. But boards have since grown wary of quick deals, demanding more methodical study. Discussions of a takeover of HCA began back in April.
"Clearly, the length and size of the deals seems to require more time, which of course increases potential leakage," says Cam Funkhouser, senior vice president of market regulation at the National Association of Securities Dealers.
The increasing use of lots of borrowed money to acquire companies in leveraged buyouts creates more leak potential. As the deals grow larger, more money, and thus more bankers and lawyers, are coming in "under the tent," in Wall Street parlance. In HCA's $21 billion transaction, announced Monday, six financial firms -- Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Merrill Lynch & Co. and Morgan Stanley -- and at least seven law firms were involved.
Banks and law firms typically are required to submit to market regulators the names of people who worked on a given transaction. The HCA list is 40 pages long, a person familiar with the matter says.
Though using offshore accounts for illegal trading is nothing new, technology is making such trading easier. "There appears to have been an increase in illegal insider-trading activity taking place outside the United States in U.S.-traded securities," said Randall Lee, director of the SEC's Pacific Regional Office. "With advances in technology and the increasing globalization we're seeing people engage in insider trading anywhere."
In the case of Tenaris's acquisition of Maverick Tube, the SEC said in a complaint filed in federal court in Chicago that several individuals used accounts in Buenos Aires to make more than $1.1 million in profits from purchases of U.S. shares and call options of the latter company. Tenaris is an oil-and-gas pipeline supplier owned by an Argentinean conglomerate; Maverick Tube is based in Chesterfield, Mo.
In the Petco case, the SEC this month asked a federal judge to freeze $862,000 of profits in offshore funds used to trade Petco options in advance of its sale to a private-equity group -- even though regulators didn't identify the traders.
The SEC used a similar tack last November when it obtained an emergency asset freeze against "unknown purchasers" of call options in Placer Dome Inc. stock, a few days before Barrick Gold Corp. made an offer to buy Placer. At least 5,000 of the options were under water and set to expire at the time of the purchase, the SEC alleged. The SEC estimated the buyers used overseas accounts to make improper gains totaling more than $1.9 million. Petco didn't return a call for comment.
The rise of derivatives markets -- less closely regulated than stock and bond trading -- also creates new opportunities for insider trading. Regulators in the U.S. and the United Kingdom recently have been studying credit-default swap prices, but it isn't clear whether that is a prelude to a formal investigation.
Trading in credit-default swaps takes place away from formal exchanges. Banks, hedge funds, money managers and other institutions enter into contracts directly with each other and trade them in the so-called over-the-counter market.
"You're talking about a very large and unregulated market which makes it hard to identify malfeasance or to ensure that people are abiding by the rules," said Chris Dialynas, a portfolio manager at bond behemoth Pacific Investment Management Co., or Pimco, a unit of Allianz AG. "The surveillance is low and the payoff is high -- that's a recipe for bad behavior."
Mr. Dialynas added that there aren't policing mechanisms or specific penalty systems in place for parties that trade credit derivatives using inside information. However, lawyers say that the SEC can probably find a way to bring cases against people or firms who buy and sell credit protection using inside information if it can be shown that fraud was involved in the transactions.
A few years back, four trade associations associated with debt markets jointly released a set of guidelines for banks with access to inside information about corporate borrowing plans.
"There's still lingering concern out there, but it's obvious to us that the large financial institutions have put in place internal barriers to prevent information from being shared across their divisions," says Kimberly Summe, general counsel for the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, one of the groups behind the guidelines.
You are right on both scores. Thanks.
This is a list of questions and answers about the upcoming book "The Naked Truth: Counterfeiting the American Dream" that was sent to me by the CMKX Shareholders' Coalition for Market Reform. Since I’ve been entering the “home stretch” on this project, and working on a couple of other things as well, I’ve haven’t been able to cover the stock market scandal as much as I would like to. That will soon change. In a couple of weeks, and with a good night’s sleep, I’ll be back to my usual annoying self. I know you miss me. Um..don’t you?
Here's an excerpt from that interview:
"The Naked Truth: Counterfeiting the American Dream" Questions and Answers
13. You have often said during your CFRN interviews that CMKX shareholders have the ability to force positive changes....can you expand on that a bit?
They are the most powerful single shareholders’ advocate group ever, in my opinion. Their involvement in the overall battle against stock market fraud has been invaluable, such as attending Eagletech CEO Rod Young’s hearing in front of the SEC commissioners, and lobbying the SEC, Congress, and the media to raise awareness of the issue. Public awareness and public pressure are the two most important catalysts for change.
I believe that this group of shareholders can continue to be the driving force in helping to enact changes in our system, but they have to see the “big picture,” and not just obsess on the outcome of the CMKX saga. Regardless of the outcome of the CMKX situation, they have an opportunity to help both themselves and others…to see that the same thing doesn’t continue to happen over and over again. The system HAS to be changed in order to protect the average investor, as opposed to benefiting just the ultra-wealthy. I’ve always referred to this as doing something for the Greater Good…and I believe that is the responsibility of every American, and in fact, every person on Earth, to try to make things a little better for ourselves, those around us, and for future generations as well.

The total aggregate number of shares shorted in this time period is approximately 37.3 million shares. According to July 10th Total Short Interest, there are 82,508 shares that have been shorted, but not yet covered.

About BUYINS.NET
WWW.BUYINS.NET is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight naked short selling. Naked short selling is the illegal act of short selling a stock when no affirmative determination has been made to locate shares of the stock to hypothecate in connection with the short sale. Buyins.net has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the naked short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted and naked shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short and naked short trades.
BUYINS.NET has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 850,000,000 short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like Buyins.net to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each month's short transactions, BUYINS.NET provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
