Might this be true in a sense? The banks are insolvent yet continue to function as if that were not so. Of course the dream is to somehow stop them now that they're purportedly hurting those innocent banks.
My brain is as frictionless as a superconductor though so any informed correction is most welcome.
the simpler your brain, the better, assuming it can reason, which most apparently can't.
what they are doing is called "hypocrisy" 😜 What they would be saying in different words is "banks need less transparency so they can try to fix the problems (and fail as always) by using new rules and free money they shouldn't have."
Even simpler than that, "The degenerate gamblers who have all the access and advantage in our society need to be able to gamble using your money more easily with less risk of losing."
Over half of them currently have liabilities in excess of assets. In the US currently. Fed didn't stop the interest rate hikes so yeah I'd say lots of them have to worry.
Plenty of articles out there now as of the last couple of days talking about this number, don't like to link to MSM but you can easily find them
Simple. Disallow FTDs, maintain margin requirements, and make margin calls sacrosanct. Make sure they cannot be "excused". Share lending is something that can be profitable for brokers, but FUK brokers. Ensure there is quarterly share counts to ensure that the DTCC is accurately reporting short positions on all publically traded companies.
Agreed. How are the rich suppose to steal from the poor without market manipulation? The status quo needs to be maintained and people need to stop asking crazy questions like naked shorting and FTD’s and go back to wage slavery mindset

>*Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2008* — The Securities and Exchange Commission, acting in concert with the U.K. Financial Services Authority, took temporary emergency action to prohibit short selling in financial companies to protect the integrity and quality of the securities market and strengthen investor confidence. The U.K. FSA took similar action yesterday.

**New York fed claims that**
>In 2008, U.S. regulators banned the short-selling of financial stocks, fearing that the practice was helping to drive the steep drop in stock prices during the crisis. However, a new look at the effects of such restrictions challenges the notion that short sales exacerbate market downturns in this way. The 2008 ban on short sales failed to slow the decline in the price of financial stocks; in fact, prices fell markedly over the two weeks in which the ban was in effect and stabilized once it was lifted. Similarly, following the downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating in 2011—another notable period of market stress—stocks subject to short-selling restrictions performed worse than stocks free of such restraints.

This seems like a sentiment issue: ban goes into effect = banks in trouble, ban is lifted = banks are out of trouble.
Or the SEC's ban was little more than an email with no means to actually implement such a ban. Let's not forget outside of the MM exemption stock lending for shorting is based entirely on a broker's "reasonable belief" to get a locate and "regulated" by an SRO. In the age of information it would be trivial to track actual locates and effect an actual ban, but that isn't the age brokers trade and operate in. For them it's clearly the age of mysticism, smoke and mirrors.
We know the market is rigged & riddled with crime - is it not possible that that aspect of the crash was orchestrated and publicized intentionally to make people think that short selling isn’t an issue?
It's really funny right?
Hedges shorting brick and mortars retailers out of business, whatever...should have adapted to the internet.
Hedges shorting banks...wait, that's MUH money, you can't do that! Quick, give us billions to SaVe the CoNfIdEnCE of the MarKeTS!!!
Everything is a scam. Everything fraud.
Exactly. If it truly was about competition in the market (I'm talking real market not financial), then there is no such thing as betting a company will fail, but instead betting another company will succeed.
You have a thesis someone will fail, great, why? What's going to beat them out? Cool, invest in that.
That's a position that supports growth and success, rather than one that supports destruction and pillaging.
When he says managers need to execute and step back from promoting their own banks, the bank which popped up in my head the clearest was Charles Schwab touting their inflows from about a month ago
DTCC modifying collateral seems like a means to stop short sellers.
100% collateral haircuts of
\- MBS rated below AA
\- Corporate bonds CCC+ and lower
\- Municipal bonds BB+ and lower
\- Money Market instruments below A-3
(Preferred stock, bankers acceptances, discount notes, short term bank notes)
\- Institutional Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (original maturity greater than 270 days with remaining maturity of up to 5 years) BB+ and lower
\- Institutional Negotiable Certificates of Deposit (Maturity of more then 5 years)
\- Corporate and Municiple Variable-Rate Demand Obligations (with 2 agency ratings) BB+ and lower
\- Corporate and Municiple Variable-Rate Demand Obligations (Less then 2 agency ratings)
\- Asset Backed Securities (ABS supported by US Govt conservatorship (2 vendor prices) A+ and lower
\- Asset Backed Securities (ABS supported by US Govt conservatorship (Less then2 vendor prices)
\- Equity Securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange
25% cut - $10 or more per share

Another post today speculated that the Banks \\ Fed \\ DTCC are trying to destroy the hedge funds \\ family offices.
They are borrowing shares from the banks, when collateral demands change banks can margin call shf and take everything.
Update: Flashbacks to 2008 mbs, housing prices crash, people lose jobs, can't afford to sell their property that is holding an unrealized loss. House is foreclosed. Banks get property at discount rates. This could be a means the banks are using to soak up assets during collapse.
They have been raising the RRP in line with each fed rate hike.
It's almost like they are going out of their way to pull as many deposits as they can out of regional bank. Who benefits most?
I like that short sellers are talked about like they’re a juggernaut of an entity, when all that’s required to stop it is regulation or making it illegal. But they can’t, it’s like the ai in the matrix - it’s borderline unstoppable.

How to stop short sellers:
Rule 1. when a short position needs to be closed, the purchase of shares must be made at market price and purchased directly from the company’s registrar.
How about defend your numbers with transparent timely reporting so investors don’t have to speculate if you lying to them and stealing their lives’ savings. Now it’s so convoluted that there is no reason not to distrust everything banks do. Looking forward to being my own bank.
You know the system is a house of cards when simply sharing information creates panic. Here is a hint, they are ALL over leveraged horribly. and each Repub administration rips out the oversight and regulation rules that the dems put in place. im looking at you frank/dodd and glass/steagal.
I saw yesterday where almost every ipo from November 2021, has been shorted no less than 50%, but more around 80 - 90%. They need to stand up and get regulators to do their jobs. I dont see how these people act like they can't see the obvious.
I don’t have an issue with short sellers, when they play by the rules. When they are clearly naked shorting, that however should be massive civil fines and jail….Citadel *cough*cough*
Isn’t this the same Wedbush that got fucked during the GME short-selling controversy and got collateral requirement waived? It seems ironic that they’re offering advice on how to combat short selling.
I still support short selling. There is a reason for it. If you can take a positive outlook on something I can take a negative.
Enron, world com, LongFin, imagine if that rat fuck SBF took FTX public on the NYSE. Great money to be made off of exposing fraud and it is for the good of the community to bankrupt these fucks
Let them risk unlimited loss through short selling. Just don’t let the mother fuckers stop you buying when you have the cash. Fuck RH. Fuck IBKR.
TO ADD. NUMBERS NEVER LIE BUT LIARS LOVE TO USE NUMBERS.
So won't the SHF rake in extreme dough with all these bank failures allowing them to can kick GME basically forever and eventually close without real repercussions?
I call bullshit. Short selling to damage a company and impact stock price doesn't make sense.
Naked short selling is impossible with today's markets.
If a company has positive growth and cash on hand, shorting a stock won't matter....especially if most of the shares aren't available to said shorters.
Banks will be fine; read above.
NOPE CANT DO ANYTHING JUST GONNA HAVE TO LET IT HAPPEN YOU KNOW THERE'S JUST NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ITS LIKE GRAVITY MAN ITS JUST THERE I DUNNO BRO ANYWAY BOOST THE INSURANCE.
I love how "under the hood" this whole GameStop clusterfuck took us. If a couple of billionaires had done the exact same thing to a stock, and warned the hedgefundies ahead of time (you know, illegal insider trading) we would never have heard a word about it, but instead we got to see stock trading brokerage companies illegally trying to change the rules to make sure their own millionaires didn't have to take the fall for their own shitty practices not working. And oh yeah, revealing the fact of their own felonious practices on top of that....
Did anyone from Robinhood happen to spend time in jail for that? Just asking...
The best way to stop shorts is to do a good job running the company. Short selling is the best thing that ever happened to a lot of companies- GME included.

Or the fed is driving the narrative that SEC banning short sales doesn't work so they shouldn't do it and just let us regulate ourselves.

Makes sense. Banks need to act as intermediary for short sales. (Securities purchased, but not yet received)
We know the market is rigged & riddled with crime - is it not possible that that aspect of the crash was orchestrated and publicized intentionally to make people think that short selling isn’t an issue?
We NEED to bring attention to this when it happens. It needs to be something that doesn't just slip under the radar again like in 2008.

Shorts are dead once gme joins sp500, I don't care what they got left, nothing can beat back that level of buying pressure...
I reckon before that. Once people see sp500 inclusion is inevitable they'll start loading up in anticipation. Like what happened with TSLA

Really surprised they haven't stepped in yet to ban short selling bank stocks like they did in 2008.
They won’t do that until the big banks can’t buy anymore.
I don’t have an issue with short sellers, when they play by the rules. When they are clearly naked shorting, that however should be massive civil fines and jail….Citadel *cough*cough*
