For those interested, I've also created a board on SI which deals with many of the same issues. I've cross linked here.

What's interesting is that SI has a solid crew of individiuals who defend MM's and hedge funds. SI was probably the base for short selling gurus back in the days when the internet bubble burst.

One guy follows me around and basically says that there should be very few restrictions on shorting or on MM's and hedgies because they serve a purpose in fighting scams. He basically says that we retail investors are so stupid, we cannot be protected from scammers. So, we might as well let the MM's and hedge funds and other professionals scam the scammy promoters and managements.

Here's the board on SI.

As the public awareness of this situation becomes more wide spread we shall see a rising of the masses who demand the rules be enforced. But if the rules are enforced where will the money come from that pays the multi-million dollar christmas bonuses to Wall Street. Again GREED IS THE DRIVER and the independent investor pays the price.
