Matt Taibbi: "Wall Street's Naked Swindle"

BlueTunisia Says:

Oct 2, 2009 - Lol Then blame the SEC, not short selling! That's like blaming the forest for spreading a wild fire when the firemen sat there and did nothing! I just don't like it when people start taking these ridiculious shots at short selling.

BlueTunisia Says:

Oct 2, 2009 - And if you think you're so just perhaps then you should be aiming your comments toward the SEC!

Oct 3, 2009 - dear Grace..... what are we the people supposed to do? I sit in my house and see the dishonesty on wallstreet and the fed, and the gov, and sec etc. I live on the west coast. What should we be doing about this? write or call senators=result=0 peaceful protest =0 not buying or borrowing= yes but it hurts us all even more so what to do now............HELP!!

fal2grace Says:

Oct 3, 2009 - This is a question that I've pondered a lot (and you can call me Deb). What I really think? A lot of people might not agree with... I think when the majority of us realize the truth... that our economic and political system is completely dysfunctional... that a small group of people control our money and our well being... and they don't care about us at all... well when a majority really gets that fact, then I think you'll see the change you want. That's my best answer. Thanks.

fal2grace Says:

Oct 3, 2009 - ...so maybe the best thing you can do (in addition to things you mentioned) is simply talk to the people you know and come in contact with and help them to realize the truth. We sorta need a critical mass.

Oct 3, 2009 - think mayhap it be the time to write up some flyers for those who do not have a computer. By the time we all wake up it will be too late. maybe too late now. Still we ought to try rather than let the train run over us. Now i am writing notes to perfect strangers on utube in the hope it gets out. what else can i / we do?

Oct 5, 2009 - There is absolutely no reason to have confidence in our regulators. They have been captured by the street. The game is to look for or wait for companies in trouble and then KILL them. You manipulate the stocks lower and then blame the company. It's the perfect crime because all of the regulators are either too stupid or too corrupt. There WILL be no fix, until we see regulators arrested for conspiring and enabling the criminals

fal2grace Says:

Oct 5, 2009 - excellent points!

Oct 7, 2009 - So....any investor with clout, influence and lots of money can hold an American company, that is traded, hostage. Just how long do you think it wil take Americas enemies to figure this out? I fear this is just the beginning of the end; for a lot of things. Thanks Matt for being a bright light in a very dim world.

Oct 8, 2009 - Hokey smokes Bullwinkle! (from Rocky and Bullwinkle show) Yep kids, stay tuned for more adventures I wish we had stocked up on the unobtainable cans of "Whoop-ass". If our regulators wont, then who? And while I am on it, what data and information was lost in the Securities Exchange Commission building on September 11th 2001 when it fell to the ground that afternoon? I am buying food and stocking water and have returned to the power of prayer. I think "they" are here and it is us. :(

fal2grace Says:

Oct 8, 2009 - I think a lot of data was lost when the buildings fell... and yes we're in for quite a ride. Hold on. Thanks for commenting.

sterrazzano Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - Only a stooge would read rolling stone for finance info, and on top of that, what morning joe. Ahhhhh hahahahahahaha. He is not the first to raise this issue - but the only one to write an article on it over 1 year after it happened and then suggest he's uncovered something.

DrTimWhatley Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - Four and a half minutes? Taibbi comes on to talk about something as important as massive market manipulation and Morning Joe has him on four four and a half minutes? And then that woman says, "You'll have to come back on this show again." I have an idea, fucking keep him right there! Make more of this BS known to the general public. I hate TV.

fal2grace Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - yes, they spend more time covering the gossip news... thanks for commenting.

IntergalacticDouche Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - Exactly, give Matt Taibbi his own show, and give these tools at morning joe their walking papers.

fal2grace Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - I'd love it if he had his own show.

dugbalaserstream Says:

Oct 27, 2009 - Thom Hartmann just did a full segment on it, if you wanna get the podcast. or read Rolling Stone: Wall Street's Naked Swindle : A scheme to flood the market with counterfeit stocks helped kill Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers — and the feds have yet to bust the culprits by MATT TAIBBI That person made 159 times his money, or roughly $270 million. This trader was either the luckiest guy in the world, the smartest son of a bitch ever or Or what!? Any guesses?

fal2grace Says:
