Viking Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 First time viewer. It will be interesting to see what legislation comes out of this in the years to come. It will also be very fun to watch Micheal Moorer take a run at this very juicy topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crip1 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I had a couple of questions when looking at this: 1) Were there other instances of massive short selling for firms which did NOT effectively go under? 2) Looking at this as objectively as I can, there is not CONCLUSIVE evidence of cause and effect? Now I would not ever take the side of illegal short sellers (naked short sellers) but can we state with 100% conviction that Bear or Lehman would still be going concerns had the short selling NOT occurred? I do not think we can state this with 100% conviction. The points made in the video are quite legit, but I would like to see this dug into even deeper. If the Hedgies do have the SEC in their pocket (which I believe is true), then it will take either a massive story on 60 Minutes story or a Moore documentary to compel the SEC or other govermental agencies into action. -Crip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valuecfa Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Look at a chart graph of the fails to deliver relative to the share price. I think you will see more conclusive evidence. I don't have the time to find it for you, but i believe this chart is also available within the deepcapture site. You may find this very recent article interesting too. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aB1jlqmFOTCA&refer=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
