Someone suggested shutting the stock market down: I don’t think that we should throw the baby out with the bath water, the stock market is a great and necessary component of the economy, we simply need to have regulators who have spines, and we should stop tolerating illegal destructive behaviors.

Further, in regard to having Congress deal with this: How many of our states’ elected representatives and officials are market wizards? How many of them are on the inside track, there, able to discern and decipher all this stuff, and what good are they actually able to do in the face of special interests for whom billions of dollars are potentially on the line?

I say this is a job for the People themselves. How to go about it? Simple. Take your money OUT of the stock market, and encourage others to do likewise. No customers, no audience=no Vaudeville economic sideshow. Shut it down, shut it off, help a lot of companies go private and back to a more mundane, and reliable business model that’s far less susceptible to whatever kind of Madoffian ‘magic’ that might go on. Money is made through the buying and selling of goods, and payment for provision of services. All Wall St. and attendant firms are is intermediaries, middlemen, trying to get a cut as the real business goes by, trying to finagle higher prices here and there and get a percentage. Unnnecessary, supplemental drain on the already shaky economy, and ethically questionable, so, sidetrack it and let people get on with their own daily business and lives, and let Wall St. have its’ last little siren song or whatever, but let Americans get on with their lives. If it’s all just a big joke on our citizens and can jeopardize our futures, then close it. And, once they’re closed, they won’t have to bother with self-regulation or external regulation, and maybe they can use all their collective business acumen to do something of value to the public at-large, and make mop handles or something, with Bernie Madoff, or trim actual physical hedges in place of manipulating hedge funds and all that jazz. That’s my view.

here’s the letter
Dear Senator Nelson,

I have asked for your help on illegal stock manipulation, failure to delivers and naked short selling for years and you have done nothing but refer me to the SEC that was the sleeping watchdog.

If this issue is too complicated for you and your staff don’t you think the current financial meltdown warrants you hire a staffer either with knowledge of these complex issues or a willingness to become educated. I have yet to hear that you have done one thing to become involved or correct this issue.

Try reading this as a way to get current on the real issues that need to be addressed in our financial system, http://www.deepcapture.com/category/djr/, and then get back and tell me what you are doing about these well laid out crimes occuring in our financial system.

Please don’t bother with the form replies or have the SEC send me a copy of the rules that they don’t enforce. You have done that for years. I used to be more polite about this but since you have ignored me and this issue for almost ten years I find myself a bit curt.

sincerely !!!!!!! *******
