You know our thoughts on the short sell ban, and its participants. We've been encouraging those companies shielded by the Long Only Suction to send a message that they are strong enough to take whatever the market throws at them, and slowly but surely, they're coming around. We suspect that in the coming days, the non-pussies will come out of the woodwork and in doing so, not only lay their stones on the table, but shame those sticking with Cox. We will be calling the members of the ever-growing former list Einhorn's Eagle Scouts, the latter Lamprey Longs. We'll update the roster of each as the information develops. As of now, those learning to tie knots and bird watching with D-boy are: Diamond Hill Investment Group, JMP Group, Greenlight RE, and American Physicians Capital.
Will IBM Earn A Merit Badge Before The Week's End? Stay Tuned.

I'm sure that my firm would bow out of the short sell ban but we're private. DAMN it feels good to be a consultant.

The market is heading up, and tomorrow (Thursday) is the day when things will be decided. Read the article below to board the vehicle. Short term tech bottom is around the corner.

Has anyone actually read the unabashed nonsense that this (presuably) guy keeps posting for his financial trader blog thingy?
Jeesus man have some damn dignity and stop spamming all the comment boards.
If people like what you have to say they'll link to you and check out your blog w/out you stuffing it down their throat.
