Great read on naked shorting and shorting in general. A bit of an eye opener.

I am writing to you because of the power you hold in the United States Marketplace and Wall Street. I am sure that if someone who was employed by YOU at one of your companies, stole from the company by counterfeiting some of the companys checks, or stock certificates or personnel info….that you would take the appropriate actions and insure that the individual was fired if not prosecuted.
Now, as I initially stated above, you have a large amount of influence and POWER in what trends are excepted or rejected. Therefore I am BEGGING YOU to PLEASE take a look at the rampant COUNTERFEITING OF STOCK SHARES that has been going on in the marketplace for a couple of years now. While I understand that the stock borrowing pool had a purpose once, it’s time has now past! You are aware that this is going on in the US marketplace, yet I have seen NO REPRESENTATION by you of it’s wrongfullness. Now is the time to take a side on this issue and be a leader within the reform that MUST TAKE PLACE if the market is to continue on it’s upward climb. Therefore, I am personally inviting you to be my guest at a RALLY against the Counterfeiting of Stock Shares, on the steps of the DTCC on July 29th, 2005! Show your support for the average investors who sink their hard earned money into the companies that are being stolen away! Please respond! Thank you.

this has been an interesting and informative discussion. i’m disappointed it seems to have dried up. it makes wall st look like a nice place to trade, but i wouldn’t want to invest there. it makes those in power look like a bunch of pirates.

Mark, It’s obvious from your perception of NAKED SHORTING, you have another agenda…

Bottom line….IT IS ILLEGAL!

So, instead of condoaning it, why don’t you join the fight to help prevent it.

Or have you been naked shorting stock for so long, it has become common place in your life?

Seems to me, you have a very scued image of what’s right and what’s wrong…maybe you should take up basket-weaving, and cover your naked short positions, before they jump up and bite you in the butt.
