koa, just saw your response.....as you can imagine took a nice hit today on STI.....
 
by your response, do you mean STI DID sell their shares in KO and "could possibly be in trouble"?
 
would be nice to hear that.......but Warren Buffett buying into them, sucked for my shorts.......
 
ty in advance for the clarification.....

one more thing.....short selling doesnt make companies go bankrupt, shit companies go bankrupt on their own....
 
Lehman opened their books before they went bankrupt and asked other companies to take a look and make an offer.....no one offered cause they all they saw was a worthless company.....
 
Perfect example, shorts had nothing to do with LEH or any other companies downfall....  they are valued  on the private market and they all came up worthless anyway.....
 
dunno, just a spiel i had inside,  I am tired of hearing from HOKU and OSTK, and now these financials that shorts are killing them......if you are worth more than what the shorts push you down, your stock will prevail

Tell you what......
 
If you just flat out "ban" short selling, God help you on the day people just decide to jump out of windows and SELL, SELL, SELL.
 
Manipulators terrorize shorts to goose symbols all the time.
 
What a sad, sad country in which we live......."freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."  Headed there quickly, cause everything's being taken away.

Crap companies fail cause of their own rampant greed, and they want to blame it on short sellers.
 
Didn't the USA try to blame the skyrocketing gas this summer on "speculators?"

HG - STI was an original investor in coca cola and had a stake for 100 years or so. they sold it earlier this year to recapitalize themselves

ccl - this banning of short selling on option expiration day is fucked

stupid idea from stupid people

The stock market will probably soon be eliminated where "the little guy," for all intents and purposes, will be forbidden to buy/sell.

Covered my 3k short STI today at about 32.........

 

What a wild ride last couple of weeks.....thought for sure i would be forced to cover, but i guess existing shorts were unaffected....
