The MacDougal Post: What Has the World Come to?

What Has the World Come to?

Just when seasoned market observers were beginning to think that things couldn't possible get worse pretty much anywhere across the globe, the Brits go and announce that pubs there are dying off at the rate of 29 iconic watering holes a week - with no end in sight. Apparently, MEN IN ENGLAND HAVE STOPPED DRINKING, or are in the midst of doing so. Forget the Fed's interest rate circus. Surely this is the catastrophic event that will mark the bottom of our dreadful summer plunge.

Or not. If the Dow doesn't open down by at least hundreds on that kind of devastating news, maybe it never will, and we're destined to live out our days tortured forever by relentless shorts in this never-ending market of a thousand cuts.

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.
