However, from this, I take it that the DTCC is an SRO. I.e., it regulates itself. Now I understand…

tommytoyz, thanks.

I’ll take a look.

Seems we need a charismatic spokesperson for any such effort, no?

all I want to say . I am deeply ashamed as a citizen of the usa.. to see what is going on in the market and in Washington , no one has been watching the store for us for a very long time, how we got in to this financial mess is easy to see , the Mob has been running it and the department that should protect the investor have been sleeping, very ,very sad indeed ,

Jim Hall:

Please join an already existing non profit corporation, the National Investor Protection Coalition. It’s free, though fell free to donate if you feel so inclined.

The more members we have, the better. I’m working on several fronts on this issue.

Patrick’s message has the great advantage of being simple and easy to understand. It should have no problem getting support from a large number of people if communicated broadly. (1) The 1934 law requires regulation of clearing/settlement. (2) The recent comprehensive report dies not mention any such regulation. Everyone should be screaming “WHY WHY WHY” Get this issue in front of congress/senate!!

We need to coalesce.
If all the media sees is smucks like Einhorn, how do we stand a chance?
We need a face and a voice and capital.
We are the MAJORITY!

Sean this is much deeper than a REBUKE of CNBC. Find me the one who is in charge who has the power and it’s up to HE/SHE to implement existing rules. We know the LAW. The problem ISN’T the law. We don’t need more agents. We don’t need more senators or congressman. We don’t need more SEC commissioners. We just need those in position to do their jobs. And if not. REMOVE THEM. The problem as most should now understand is COMPLICITY. And as one poster has suggested there are ways to take back our system and while doing so restructure it. The problem though will be; Who remembers the transfer of power during the Castro days. GOOD GUY GONE BAD?.OR ALWAYS a BAD GUY WHO achieved power?

Patrick, the outline of an idea (take it for what it’s worth)…I have no email address directly to you so here it is…hoping you will see this.

***************************************************

RAIL – Real American Investors League

I propose a not-for-profit organization/movement called RAILS. (aside: Couldn’t ANY group for investors be considered ‘non-profit’ these days?)

This organization would serve as spearhead and aegis for concerns of INVESTORS, not TRADERS. We need positive PR to counteract the Chanos/Einhorns of the world.

Who are RAIL investors?
pensioners, etc.

What we are not…
Hedgefunds
Daytraders

Ways and Means, Tools at our disposal:

A Platform:

Build A platform (what we demand in no particular order):

- immediate and complete short ban

- uptick rule – modified to take into account percentage increase over a time period – not geared to a penny as many

disingenuous folks have suggested is the only way to accomplish this.

- Shorting (naked) and otherwise immediately public

- Puts must be married. If you have no long share, you may have no put.

- SKF must be terminated

- CDS must be invalidated if no ‘investable interest’

- DTCC reconciliation of FTD within 30 days

- News rumors CNBC – nationalization etc squelched. No yelling ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater, or in Yahoo message Boards for

that matter…

- FUD regarding accounting of companies to stop

- Legislators to reveal ALL investment holdings right now, short, long and otherwise.

- Analysis of the origin of the shorting, naked and otherwise – who, what countries, when

- CRIMINAL Charges and sentencing in cases like Madoff. ALL ASSETS confiscated. Complete investigation into his family, and

the Family (mob) at the heart of this.

METHODS:

- Need a ‘Million Investor’ march on Washington – NYC?

- News coverage

Lawsuits against senators, NYSE, SEC, etc.

This is merely a germ of an idea. What do you think?

This issue of unregulated, private institutions having control over an untold amount of power to a public entity threatens the integrity of the markets in full. Along with HR 1207 (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1207/show) this idea should be introduced before congress for the appropriate transparency President Obama claimed to establish.
