(Continued from page 43) 1. Immediately, reinstate the Up-Tick Rule. 2. Crack down on naked short selling. Require stock certificate #'s when a short sale needs to be covered, including ETF’s. 3. Institute some rules on how the media ’reports’ news in order to prevent rumor-boarding. Not censorship… just sensibility & responsibility. 4. Pass a Wind-Fall Capital Gains Tax of 65% on ALL short sales not directly tied to a long buy by a regulated hedge fund! 5. Have ALL ETF’s trade on a 20-minute delayed basis. Get these instruments of mass destruction back to what they were supposed to do: mimic mutual funds. apppro’s take for 05/05/2011 @ 07:00 am EST:
“Flash Crash Anniversary” And one of the enablers asks, “What’s different?” My answer which is similar to the video clip, “SQUAT! NADA! ZIP! NOT A DAMN THING!” I am still not sure why no one really wants to address the REAL issue: Short-term Greed! I also want you all to hear this insanity: “I NEED a 10% correction!” To heck with you! What YOU REALLY NEED is to have your gambling bets taxed up the whazoo, and then maybe you’ll invest and stop all the damn insanity! STOP THE INSANITY NOW! Lastly, check out the 5-day chart of the SLV, silver ETF. I have only one thing to say about this, “It’s about damn time! Thank heavens!” Now do this to gold and oil! However, this very morning I woke up to a down market that they are blaming on a sell-off in these very commodities. Main St. screwed again by speculators’ and traders'/traitors’ greed! NOT BANKS! _______________________________________

“What Do You Expect!” You would think that killing this slime ball might boost the Nation’s moral and desire to expand the recovery! You think? Until we get rid of this trader/traitor mentality that has consumed our financial markets, I will repeat myself, “Nothing will change!” Even though gold, oil, and silver are down the past few days; most are just calling it a blip. Let me repeat what someone else said, Today’s news is a perfect example, and the news wasn’t all that horrible either. U.S. stocks stung by economic reports Market Snapshot - MarketWatch But the shorts via their nega-pundits are trashing the markets, calling for a revisit to Armageddon. We need to get back to investing and not gambling. We need to get back to putting money into jobs and growth, and not chasing one bubble after another. We need to get back to putting money to work in building bridges and factories, and NOT paper ‘useless gold’ ETF’s. What we really need to do is get rid of the short term mentality that has taken over our country. You want to talk about tax reform - then reduce taxes on investing and increase it on gambling. We must END the ‘Trader/Traitor Decade’ once and for all! (And oh, someone please pull the plug on CNBS!) STOP THE INSANITY NOW! _______________________________________

“Sirius Issue!” Where the heck is the SEC or other regulators? Please look at this chart… pay special attention to 5/2. For days prior the stock price was fairly consistent… then it opened a tiny bit higher on 5/2. Now look at around 11:30 am on Tuesday… BAM, someone places below the bid sales and the rug is pulled out from under the price! No news! No real reason! Nothing! Just BAM! Today, SIRI had GREAT earnings so the price basically opened at the same price that the BAM occurred at. The stock has been climbing since. Does NO ONE else see anything wrong with these BAMS? This is stock manipulation at its prime! Where the heck is the SEC? The 5 Golden Rules 1. Immediately, reinstate the Up-Tick Rule. 2. Crack down on naked short selling. Require stock certificate #'s when a short sale needs to be covered, including ETF’s. 3. Institute some rules on how the media ’reports’ news in order to prevent rumor-boarding. Not censorship… just sensibility & responsibility. 4. Pass a Wind-Fall Capital Gains Tax of 65% on ALL short sales not directly tied to a long buy by a regulated hedge fund! 5.

“Do You Feel Safer Today?”
With the fantastic news that they got Bin Laden, some are now asking, “Do you feel safer today?” I ask, “Well, do you punk?” Personally I would feel a whole lot better if they take a few of those same Special Forces and send them to take out a bunch of those short-term traders/traitors at the CME or NY Mercantile Exchange! You see gold and oil today, not to mention the U.S. dollar? Insanity! It took a decade to get rid of that scum, well maybe it’s time to take out the “Trader/Traitor Decade”, too! _______________________________________

“Baby Killers?” Gaddafi’s youngest son & 3 GRANDCHILDREN killed in NATO airstrike - The Washington Post
Is this what we have become? When did it become so important for us that we will actively kill true innocents, so that the Muslim Brotherhood can gain total control of northern Africa? What is wrong with all of us! _______________________________________

SatWaves Exposing The Crime of Naked Short Selling
apppro quick response: While I couldn’t agree more with these guys, and I’ve watched all their videos – a must see – I still take issue to the fact that even they do NOT acknowledge the mark-to-market M2M implications employed at the very beginning by Bill Ackman in October of 2007. They especially missed the role shorts played it having the SEC repeal the ‘uptick rule’ in July ‘07 and how they manipulated FASB to implement M2M in October ‘07. It was Ackman’s game plan that all the subsequent destruction was based on! Yes, we had naked shorting and manipulation well before him, but that all pales in comparison to what his schemes lead us ALL to have to deal with in the fall of 2008! _______________________________________ apppro’s take for 04/28/2011 @ 06:30 pm EST:
“The Traders/Traitors That Cried Bubble!” When some of the very traders/traitors that helped create a bubble are now calling for the bubble to pop… well you know we have a bubble. Unlike moronic government officials that are still in denial about oil, Speculators not behind oil price spike, says energy agency., these traders/traitors are at least getting the gospel on silver. ETF Silver Hysteria I’m still waiting for them to see the light on oil and especially ‘useless gold’! _______________________________________

UGH! I can’t look either! Oil firm tax breaks must end quickly: Senator Reid - Yahoo! News
These morons just don’t get it, and all this will do is drive oil up another 15% and put more people out of work! What idiots! AGAIN, they’re going after the wrong people, just like they did when they bashed the banks instead of the shorts for causing the 2008 debacle! Build… Build… Build! Drill… Drill… Drill! Jobs… Jobs… Jobs! _______________________________________
