[i_like_bb_stock]

RunninAmuck: This is a petition to do something about short selling. It is killing the U.S. markets. Some NASDAQs stocks are over 50% short, and it seems there needs to be some kind of rules put in to place to control it. This is not a boycott of any means. Just a means of getting people to say they are fed up with short selling, and it needs to stop. Most BBs have been shorted to the point of no return, as have many NASDAQs. This market stands no chance of ever turning around unless there is some limit on short selling, and above all some means of ensuring that there is a stock certificate behind all shorts, since they are supposed to be borrowing the paper. Many are naked in nature, meaning there is no stock lent at all. I signed it and I'm 100% behind this one.

I do not sign any petition that says I have to physically do something. Boycotts, strikes, etc. I do not do.

If you want to sign it do if not don't ... Yes, it will probably get promoted as it catches on. However, short sellers will be raising cane because the boycott was one of the best thng that could have happened to them. No upward resistence and that is like handing candy to a baby.

The difference is, it is asking the government to act not the people signing it.
