    Totally agree yaschmidt...

    What is wrong with the fundamental laws of commerce, of supply and demand?

    Simple market dynamics.

    Something is in demand and short supply, it goes up.
    If there is an oversupply, and slow demand, the price goes down.

    So why do we need a mechanism which increases downward selling pressure in the stock market?
    Particularly when it now has become synonymous with co-ordinated market manipulation.

    Um, We don't.

    Occam's razor should be the governing philosophy here- simple is best.....supply and demand--up and down...period.

    "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." Mayer Amschel Rothschild, patriarch of the Rothschild banking dynasty.

    Controlling money and money flows.....you need money to do it, and lots of it.

    So they create a system where they can't lose, and continually grow the coffers.

    Buy a stock and it goes down...no worries...we will lend it out and make money.
    And when the share eventually turns up, we sell and make a profit.
    So it's a hedge, for when the SP is down.

    It's not a level playing field, is it?

    And this is just one of the mechanisms which stacks the odds in favour of the house.

    The finance sector is extremely powerful, so they create the practice of shorting which is nearly impossible to eradicate.

    Some jurisdictions have, but usually momentarily...the promise of market liquidity being the dangling carrot.

    And with the toothless tiger ASIC, who themselves are currently under 2 senate enquiries, pretending to guard the gates of the ASX, this market is ripe for the picking, from domestic entities, but mostly from US and Asian financial powerhouses.

    No wonder some describe the markets as a blood sport!

    Good luck everyone.
