The MacDougal Post: A Pontiff Pipes Up

A Pontiff Pipes Up

At his annual New Year’s mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Benedict XVI supported the relentless effort by blogs such as your MacDougal Post to offer our valued subscribers commentary on the excesses of over-the-top avarice, speaking of “hotbeds of tension and confrontation caused by the growing inequality between rich and poor and the prevalence of a selfish and individualistic mentality also expressed by unregulated financial capitalism”.

Spokespersons at Trump Tower (New York City), Trump Tower (Philadelphia), Trump Tower (Tampa), Trump Tower (White Plains), Trump Tower (Manila), Trump Tower Batumi (Georgia), Trump Charlotte, Trump Towers (Sunny Isles Beach), Trump Towers Istanbul, Trump SoHo, Trump Park Avenue, Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico, and Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago) were unavailable for comment, and phone calls to Trump World Tower hadn't been returned as of press time. There is no word yet on whether or not The Donald will be making a rebuttal.

Inside the Scam

Short-sellers flood markets with bogus shares, involving buyers in bookkeeping transactions, not stock, and not telling them about it. Wall Street helps hide the fraud with Madoff accounting, even letting shorts pay dividends as part of this scam, duping investors into believing they get real dividends paid by the company they thought they invested in.

Worse, short-selling, in effect, adds these phony shares to the actual total number reported in company financial statements, which goes into the various earnings per share (EPS) calculations, essential components of the critical metric universally used to value common stocks, the price/earnings ratio (P/E). In a selling frenzy, EPS can be cut from, say, $4.00 to $0.40 or $0.04 or whatever, by the immense volume of fake shares these pretend investors are drubbing the real ones with at point of purchase.

Every reference made to P/E as a calculable metric is a lie. Our stock market is gamed by short-side racketeers, rendering equity investment in this country a massive securities fraud. Their humongous swindle purloins much of our savings during every market downdraft.

Odds are the SEC staff belongs in jail. Gangland racketeering is more than enabled by the complicity of our regulatory hotshots. Mob stooges inside that agency have spearheaded these cons for generations, flat out lying to us all those years.

Surely, the SEC's remarkable contention that short-sellers borrow their shares from you and me is, in its downright absurdity, the nadir of arrogance and criminal obfuscation.

That's why we're never asked to go along with it.
