Excellent explanatory videos!

To people who complain about having to watch the videos instead of being able to read a short synopsis, I would say that this is a complicated issue and is best explained with graphics. And the graphics in the videos are quite clear and communicative.

BTW, I wonder if the activity in the Proctor and Gamble shares last week was the result of a manipulator using naked short selling to significant reduce its share price in the market. The PG activity was not remotely comparable to what happened to Bear Stearns, but its volume and price activity stood out noticeably in the crash last week.

From what I can tell at this point P&G did not seem to have a large short pressure. There were however about 12 -20 stocks that had been loaded up to collapse - the most notable being 3m. I think the stage was set with these stocks and P&G was the trigger. If you look at the charts 3m collapsed after about two minutes. Then the other stocks on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ melted. Some are thinly traded and easily moved with massive short selling. I think you are a fool or a gambler if you are still in the market. That said there is massive downward pressure on the market and the people that try and prop it up clearly were outgunned last week.

Understood, but at my present location, I am unable to download and watch most videos. There are few exceptions, but our IT folks have a tight clamp on any activity that eats up bandwidth.

Indeed. "Watch and pray." The new items about the Chicago trading location regarding P&G are interesting. As it stands, investing in stocks is leaving one's money open to theives, IMHV.
