The Dark Side of The Looking Glass

A slide show presentation, which plays automatically and is presented in a college level format. The first few slides start with the premise that an individual has very little to no understanding of how US equities trade and eventually gets into more complex issues of shorting, naked shorting, fail to deliver, market makers, etc. The entire slideshow requires 1 hour of your time.

While the SEC in July 2009 issued new rules regarding Naked Short Selling, there are more loopholes in the document than swiss cheese. Of course, it requires actually reading the shocking document to understand what the SEC has done (or not done) to undermine the average investor and benefit the criminals. Critical critiques of the SEC do not appear in main stream news, as the average citizen is being intentionally left in the dark.
In August 2009, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland wrote a paper on systemic risk, (read it carefully). Essentially, completely overhauling US equities and bonds may cause a catastrophic systemic financial collapse. In my opinion, only incremental change will occur to correct the corruption of the past.
