Got Gold Report Comments on Proposed SEC Short Sale Rule S7-08-08

By Gene Arensberg 30 Jun 2008 at 02:10 PM

ATLANTA (ResourceInvestor.com) — I’d like to comment on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposed naked short selling antifraud rule S7-08-08 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, issued in Release No. 34-57511. The Securities and Exchange Commission needs to crack down on illegal manipulative short selling.

As Dr. Robert Shapiro pointed out in his May 8, 2008 comment, while naked short selling is presumed to be a small amount of the trading volume when compared to all volume of the exchanges as a whole, when the illegal practice is concentrated into thinly traded small and micro-cap companies it can make up a large portion of the trading activity in those issues, perhaps even a majority of all trades for those issues for extended periods of time.

Small, thinly-traded issues on

Editor’s Note: This is the final installment of a two-part series on "below-the-radar-screen" stocks. Last covered: The "pink sheets." By Mike Caggeso Associate Editor Penny-stock traders are like the Rodney Dangerfields of the investment world - they get no respect from their bigger brethren. If a penny-stock trader made a killing on a few penny-stock trades, there’s a good chance he or she orchestrated a "pump-and-dump" scam - where a holder of a big block of penny-stock shares orchestrates a big whisper campaign to pump up the price of his shares. Traders rush in, driving the price skyward, enabling the perpetrator to "dump" his shares at a big profit. The big sales, combined with the end of the hype, usually cause the penny stock to nosedive, inflicting the greatest damage on those who bought in last. Thus, if ...

My recent post about Plum Creek Timber, client holding, was re-run on Seeking Alpha and a reader left the name of a stock I had never heard of before; Timberwest Forest (TWF-UN.TO in Canada and TWTUF on the pink sheets).Timberwest is one of these Canada listed products that ties in with some sort of resource and pays an enormous dividend, the hydro funds fall into this category.The chart goes back a year and compares Timberwest with Plum Creek Timber and Macquarie Infrastructure (MIC), which is also a client holding. Timberwest and Plum Creek are obviously both timber companies and Timberwest and MIC are both not so simply constructed businesses with high dividend payouts.An investor who bought MIC or Timberwest at the wrong time may not have necessarily known that this sort of stock would ...
