    Default Hedge funds to reveal U.S. short positions

    This gives me great joy that this is going to happen. I cannot wait to see what hedge funds are going after alt energies and there connection to oil. The gig is up at least for now.


    WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund managers are reluctantly preparing to disclose their short positions to U.S. regulators on Monday, a move set to give a rare public glimpse into their secretive trading strategies two weeks later.

    For shareholders who have blamed short sellers for driving down company stocks, it will be a chance to see who is targeting their firm.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    I hope this happens as well. I am getting sick of companies with good fundamentals, good buiness plan in good sectors getting beaten to crap.

    The uptick rule needs to be re-implemented TODAY.
    Quote from Cypress:
    "Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    imho the stock market just needs to buy and sell stock. No buying on credit, etc.
    You have to own it before you can sell it.

    the fundamentals of business.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    Are you equally as upset when prices soar to irrational heights based on hype or deregulation and shady practices?
