Some facts Frank ... If they do not do something we could be in serious trouble.

FACT - Over 70% of all American familes have investments in the stock market. (do they not have a right to be protected from those who would borrow their holdings and sell them to drive down their investment value?)

FACT - The stock markets in this country have reached new highs until 1 1/2 years ago. All indexes (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX)hit new all-time highs in 2000. Now All 3 indexes have sold off more than 30% since their peaks. Whereas, Nasdaq has sold off about 65% from its peak. ( but most of us still hold a lot of our positions and have even averaged down. Have we been buying phantom stock?)

FACT - The Fed has eased interest rates more than at any other time in our history, other than the great Depression of 1929. Whereas, Japan has eased interest rates to ZERO and injected TRILLIONS into the economy in order to attempt to revive it. But have failed. (is that what the terrorist of the stock market are out to do? Borrow what is not there and just sell everything and if they can;t borrow just sell anyway?)

FACT - Part of the American dream is that you can invest in the stock market as a way to enhance your retirement. (however if you are buying phantom shares that someone borrowed from some else that the rightful owner does not even know it ... isn;t that what is considered a scam, con, etc. to rip off people from their savings?)

Shorters and bashers need to be regulated.
