The Office of the Inspector General of the
Securities and Exchange Commission not long ago submitted a

-11/21/08 at 7:22 PM
CSTby Reggie Abaca
America's financial system is a mess and the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to blame. Short sellers,
in a concerted effort to defend themselves and abuse the lack of
regulation by the SEC, are now targeting Citigroup (C) while our
financial journalists, analysts and government regulators continue
to do nothing. At Market Rap we've pointed out...

For a moment yesterday it felt like things were
getting back to normal. A bulletin hit the wire saying that
Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban was being charged by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission with insider
trading. Even the stock market went up for a good twenty
minutes after the wire hit. But it soon hit me right back - ...

worst week ever in the stock market. That is the story here
on Monday, October 13th 2008. Many short sellers, betting

Lynch Mob Takes On Morgan Stanley -10/11/08 at 6:21 PM CDTby Reggie Abaca
The question is what will the Feds do?
Will they support Morgan Stanley the company? Or will they
support MS shareholders. Apparently, the United States
government thinks there is no distinction there. But that is
