Interesting article, this. Is not really that long, and has something for everyone on whom to accuse for our living on the edge of a financial precipice.

I knew about selling short, but naked shorting is a new one for me - and no it isn't selling stocks over the internet in the nude.

Imaginary stocks, an unchecked rising national debt (+$9Billion, last I checked), a housing market in freefall (in some areas), and an SEC that refuses to uphold the laws governing it - sounds good to me. As the article says: "Greed is good." - again.



btw, champions the old Gullianni
