The MacDougal Post: Poor Product Safety Tied to the Looting of Shareholder Savings

Poor Product Safety Tied to the Looting of Shareholder Savings

The swindle commonly misnamed "stock option(s)" allows CEO's and them to pilfer small amounts of shareholder savings each and every year so that the culprits can end up pocketing every dime originally invested by public owners after decades of "stock option" sleight-of-hand racketeering. The amounts stolen typically comprise a significant slice of one's family savings, particularly huge when related to the sum that would otherwise be handed to one's grandchildren and great-grandchildren when God finally lets the beleaguered investor out of here. Instead, that missing portion of your money gets flat-out stolen by a new class of purse-snatchers that has curiously come to be misnamed the "1%" instead of "you m$th#rf&ck!ng crooks".

"Stock options" have nothing to do with executive compensation because they're not paid out of corporate income. It's all our money. All of it. Every single ripped-off penny.

The scam was enabled by Washington through legislation that became effective January 1, 1981. Prior to that day, crooks pulling the same con would've been tossed in jail for grand larceny. Now Congress belongs in there with them.

Recently, some academics have concluded that the kind of low-life, thieving b#st#rd heavily involved in this sordid criminal activity gives less of a sh!t about product safety than counterparts who aren't fleecing shareholders quite as much.

How eggheads can keep coming up with more wrong directions to look in never ceases to confound us. What about our stolen family savings, you blathering imbeciles?

Whatever, here's the link. Valued subscribers may be interested in seeing how the nitwits phrase their obfuscation, and we do suppose it's at least a little bit relevant. Somehow. Maybe. And we are indebted to our offshore stringer for passing it along. Trying mostly to pi$$ MacDougal off, he comes up with great stuff.

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.
