The Options Box

[Bird of Prey]

Excuse me? Namecalling?

That you disagree with the description set forth as to how shorts operate is clear. But you are the one indulging in namecalling in spite of your claim to the contrary. Your veiled derogatory comments are clearly attempts to discredit and they have been unsuccessful. As for a substantive response, we have responded with the equanimity to your assertions. Quid pro quo, if you will. You called your broker who told you one thing. I have spoken with dozens of brokers, Gary has actual documents and interviewed professional short traders that refute you and your brokers comments. We have posted this information freely. As I have reminded you more than once now this discussion is not wholly based in penny stocks. Yet you continue to berate us as mere "low life penny stock players" and now you belittle us as wastes of time.
Further the image posted is not a stock certificate, you continued reference to it as such indicates either an unwillingness to admit an error or an inability to understand simple facts. Also I am not complaining about the penny stock market though by the strictest of definitions the NASDAQ is rapidly becoming one. there is a flaw in the markets...ALL of them. If the loophole isn't closed, as it was in the world wars, our enemies can use this loophole to inflict further damage on us. Indeed they already are.
If you have no desire to put your signature on the petition that is your right and as an American I will support that right. However, what is being proposed is not new. It has been done during many conflicts before. Over the last 24 hours Gary and I have spent a great deal of time collating the various articles and rulings that support our petition. These references will be appearing in the Ibox for that thread continuously over the weekend.

BTW, I realize you have done a great deal of research into short selling...were you aware that the rules are different for large investors versus retail (read small) investors? things that you and I aren't allowed to do work for the big boys and believe me our opposition has plenty of big boys.
