Interesting piece on the Market Ticker by Karl Denninger this morning stating that “the SEC has a special call off the dogs hotline number.” Story of the article is Financiers Used “Hotline” to SEC Examiners.

Totally off topic, but good job on the Simpsons last night. I think
the ability to poke fun at one’s self is a great quality.

To sell or not to sell, that is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of shareholders and by opposing MAKE a fortune… and by a fortune, I mean a shit load… to end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that middle class schmucks are heir to, tis a consumation devoutly to be wished. To sell, to get rich, to make a million… perchance to get caught– ay there’s the rub. For in that corruption of secrets publicly unknown what exchange investigators may come when we have shuffled off a thousand suspect shares. Thus, the SEC does make cowards of us all. Except you, Mark.

The SEC is a joke. The black.dark.invisible.nonpublic market transactions of JUST pure equity options have grown to such a point that the whole public market system is fiasco.

Are you saying Chris Cox is right or wrong about Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac being ‘naked shorted’ ? I briefly reviewed your comments
re naked shorting from 2005.I don’t believe you made the dividend
argument for share accounting such as Fannie Mae or NFI or Freddie
Mac,in which no investor ever claimed to my knowledge having not
received their dividends, etc. – but only voting with micro cap
shares.But we’ve come along way since 2005 when you wrote that and I
don’t presume you’ve missed the Chairman Mao’s ,I mean Cox’s,
explanation of the Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac collapse as being
caused by evil naked short selling did you ? I mean I’m amazed you
haven’t commented on Chris Cox claim that Fannie Mae and Freedie Mac
are victims of trillions of ‘naked short selling’ damage ! Haven’t
you heard the ‘news’ from Chris ‘Naked Shorts’ Cox himself !? I
believe lieing about NFI being ‘naked shorted’ followed by
Northern Rock being blamed on that in planted stories in the UK was
a warm up for Chris Cox like the big fat lady singing,mee mee mee ,
‘Naked Short Selling.’ But somehow I don’t buy his lie and it sounds
like a fraudulent claim to me and the spreading of an incorrect rumor
over the internet that SEC Cyber Czar John Reed Stark should be
investigating regarding his own boss’s rumor ! Are ‘Bobo
O’Brien’ and Chris Cox on the same team ? Have I entered the
twighlight zone ?

Hey Mark, I know nothing about insider trading but lets say I know a financial advisor that knows about a local stock going belly up or take off for that matter. What keeps him from telling “Aunt Matilda” or some other distant relative about it and taking advantage and then kicking back the money later? I am sure I’m not the first “Joe” to think of this. They do it with ghost payrolls all the time in family business’s to keep “expenses” up for later tax reasons. Why would’nt they do it for this also? You have to keep it small to keep it under the radar but apparently Martha didnt think of “Aunt Matilda”.Thanks for the thoughts.

[...] yet… So we really shouldn’t be all that surprised about his public comments. (In fact, on a November 30, 2008 blog posting, Cuban points out a recent report to Congress by the Office of Inspector General where the OIG [...]
