Regulation SHO took effect January 3, 2005, and provides a new regulatory framework governing short selling of securities. It was designed with the objective of simplifying and modernizing short sale regulation and providing controls where they are most needed. At the conclusion of each settlement day, data is provided on securities in which: 1) there are at least 10,000 shares in aggregate failed deliveries for the security for five consecutive settlement days, and 2) these failures constitute at least 0.5% of the issuer's total shares outstanding. Regulation SHO mandates that, if a clearing agent has had a fail-to-deliver position for 13 consecutive settlement days, that clearing agent, and the broker/dealer it clears for, must purchase securities to close out its fail to deliver position.

UYG: I don't know guys, probably will be buying tomorrow morning. Most these financials are trading at 52 week lows, and BSC reports their first loss ever with a 1.9 billion subprime write-off, and the stock ends the day higher ?!?!? I'm just thinking they are in a drastically oversold position right now and due for a pop.
Thoughts?
On Utah and the under tonight, along with the rest of the world.

Grid,
I have IMB at MUCH higher levels and will not sell.
I was thinking today that C with that 7% div yield looks mighty tasty. BAC with a 6 plus percent yield, even WFC has a yield of 4%.
I have to think if you bot 10k of each stock (dollars) that 5 yrs down the road you could have a nice 30-40% return on all three AND a 30% plus yield over the same period.

Wall,
That is sort of my issue. I really don't have the jack to buy a basket of financials, that's why I was considering an ETF. The money I play with in the market is my fun (mainly Vegas) money, separate from my retirement accounts and household money. Also, as crazy as this is going to sound, I'm soooo conservative, that I'm more of a trader than an investor, I don't want to get long in anything. I'm sure I'll get laughed at for this, but my wife's and my IRA's, 401k's and personal savings are invested in GIC's, TIPS, and I-Bonds, .................and I sleep great at night.
Anyway, I have been watching C trade, but my thought is an ETF would spread some risk, but give me the overall short-term pop I think is coming.

Hey ws i've got 1100 shares of imb now...gonna sell some 7.50's on next rally...its been pretty slow goings with it the last few days though. What you think of the CEO? He definately has a vested interest in the company thats for sure. He bought $1 mill worth earlier this year and says hes going to buy more in January when he is able to.(we will see)
Looks like the rimm strangle would have worked today. I had it all set up and chickened out right before placing the trade. It looks like would have made money but nothing spectacular...
Grid-the key is that you sleep great at night, no one can laugh at that. I've had a tough time sleeping and working with some of my holdings. Major migraine headaches that I know are related to this shit. I cant stop though....

Grinder,
The stock is in the doghouse. If they werent a BANK and had some of the loans that CFC has, I wouldnt be as willing to hold. I think they survive and do fine..maybe it takes a year or so, I have shares in a IRA account, not going to give up on the trade.
I didnt even realize RIMM had earnings..wow the day before expiry, that is crazy. You need to remind me of these things..haha
Getting soaked on these DRYS options, but they are good till March and they will do a 3-1 split in late Jan..
Grid..i dont know if there is a financial ETF that has the high yield those names give..which one are you talking about specifically?

Yeah, I wish I could access this site from work to read and post.
I had JCI split this year 3-1 which was good for a little while after the split then kind of took a shit....not sure if its related to the split or not but seems to be runnups after splits then kind of fizzles. I hope you kill it with DRYS though, I know its possible...that stock can move.
I was looking at yahoo under company profile for DRYS and it said 2 full time employees. I went to their website out of curiosity to try and verify this and found a list of about 6 or 7 people. Hope they dont all travel on one plane....I'm sure they have 100's more employees I just thought it was kind of funny.

The SEC, and I don't mean the So Everyone Cheats Conference...but I doubt anyone fears them ...and like you say, there are much worse examples.

SEC
Regulation SHO, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, mandates that, if a
clearing agent has had a fail-to-deliver position for 13 consecutive
settlement days, that clearing agent, and the broker/dealer it clears for,
must purchase securities to close out its fail to deliver position.

I agree ws with buying a few of the commons......looking more for grid.....
What you think of monstor short positions in imb....you would think covering would have begun takin place by now. Im sure the short sellers could lock in a nice profit to cover and move on to another opp. Wishfull thinking by me? You think there will ever be a major squeeze or just lots of quick bumps and pullbacks and slowly work itself up into the mid teens?

Grinder,
The short position will only fuel IF the company makes the shorts pay.
Unless the company puts the screws to the shorts, most people are short from much higher and will not relinquish.
Vermeer, yeah I know the theory of SHO, but it isnt being enforced..trust me.
The SEC is fighting a battle they CANNOT win. Who is going to track the list, who is going to force the B/D to enforce?
I am serious, SHO is a total pony show joke. Pay it NO mind.
