naked
shorting/naked short selling---Refers to selling assets (houses, bonds, financial
instruments, etc.) which are not owned or borrowed. In other words, selling
an asset naked short is selling an asset that really doesn’t even exist in the
first place, falsely increasing the “supply” in the asset class, serving to
sink the price per share. Miscounting of the total number of the assets and
“forgetting” to make the call to borrow an asset before selling it short can
also cause naked short selling, whether lightning fast algorithms and/or
human traders are running the show. Here in August of 2014, it appears that assets no longer need to
be borrowed first before selling them, but the assets needed to "cover"
them must be bought within five days, or so goes the yarn. Here also in August
of 2014, it appears a couple big globally situated banks will have to pay some very hefty fines associated with
abusive financial
instruments aimed at “monetising” assets/liabilities (information included)
really owned by others, money laundering
and extremely complicated tax manoeuvres designed to hide "money" and sink the sovereigns and the shipmates of this
planet. Meanwhile, austerity
measures implemented to disguise the burying procedures designed to sink the
"lazy" old
pirates, or so it is thought, are working just according to the plan[1],
lowering wages, pensions, social nets, productivity and increasing violence and
poverty. It doesn't help anyone in the long run, even the real old pirates. Legend
has it this is a global mafia ship with twenty one at the helm. Not to worry,
sooner or later they will realise they sinking their own ship in the process. It
is time for the helicopter
heads to make “a drop” with the booty being collected at this time. There
is a great disagreement how to do this. Here is a thought…pay the mates’
mortgages in October, November and December. Reward them too at the end if they use money to make repairs and pay down their debt. Landlords too who can use it for
alternative energy and indoor farming investments. Meanwhile the lithium
battery problem has been solved, there is a new material to encase it and not react
to it. This is a "breakthrough": efficient electrical energy storage.
Goo the Steinmetz fellow and Nikolai Tesla too, and please watch Star Trek
IV***.

[1] Most arguable is the notion of a “planned” economy, but now conspiracies are also becoming notorious. In the small business sense, a lot of planning is necessary to get things right! Is planning the big picture is something else entirely? Will the big scale ever be brought into sync with the very, very small scale? I don’t believe there is any choice in the matter at this point…it must happen, at least at some point in time and stay there a wee-bit. Now would be a good time. What things can the mates make and do to benefit them all in the real physical world? Those with no homes…Those with tents…Those with old but simple tech…Those that are new… On-board energy, positive information, whole food, and clean water… It may take a lot of scalable plans, all headed here.
