The interview is 22 minutes long and it's posted here: http://usawatchdog.c...-craig-roberts/ The gold and silver talk starts around 12 minutes in but the whole interview is quite informative.

Since both calls and puts can be settled in cash terms prior to expiration (exercising of options) then the question is moot. The other myth is that puts (shorting) is somehow less holy than calls (going long). Both are a process of price discovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He compared supporters of George W Bush to: "brownshirts with the same low intelligence and morals as Hitler's enthusiastic supporters." He is also opposed to the War on Drugs. He is also opposed to the War on Terror as it has "made widows and orphans of millions of Muslims". He also believes the official explanation for the events on 9/11 is a "scientific impossibility" You should check out the fruitcakes you support before you sound off.

X could only buy Y tons because Z sold them! as simple as that. My understanding has always been as follows... Definition of 'Naked Shorting' The illegal practice of short selling shares that have not been affirmatively determined to exist. Ordinarily, traders must borrow a stock, or determine that it can be borrowed, before they sell it short. But due to various loopholes in the rules and discrepancies between paper and electronic trading systems, naked shorting continues to happen. I tend to not believe a counterpart truly exists if the shares if xyz do not exist in the first place.....Because basically it could allow folks with enough clout to take both sides of this non-existent product/share in an attempt to move a stock/commodity price to benefit their long term goal of buying or selling what they in fact do actually/physically own in shares etc. Similar but not exactly as this definition points out.... naked short selling The practice of seeking to profit from an expected fall in the price of an asset by selling shares you do not own without borrowing, or making arrangements to borrow them. In short selling, investors borrow stocks to sell them, betting that they can buy them back at a lower price and profit from the difference.

Naam Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 naked short sellingThe practice of seeking to profit from an expected fall in the price of an asset by selling shares you do not own without borrowing, or making arrangements to borrow them. In short selling, investors borrow stocks to sell them, betting that they can buy them back at a lower price and profit from the difference. A "naked" short seller has not arranged to borrow the stock at the time of sale pure refined rubbish because it omits basic facts! the order has to be accepted by another party. if there is no other party then the financial institution which accepts that order becomes automatically the counterparty and has to bear any losses if the short seller is successful or rake in the profit if the short seller's bet went wrong.

Because basically it could allow folks with enough clout to take both sides of this non-existent product/share in an attempt to move a stock/commodity price to benefit their long term goal of buying or selling what they in fact do actually/physically own in shares etc. you don't need clout for that kind of exercise. i could do that any time on any trading day with rather modest amounts and perhaps with success should the traded asset be rather illiquid. there is also no law that forbids one of my corporations to offer any asset it owns at any price, enabling another corporation (which i own too) to buy that asset at the offered price. however, should any of the afore-said companies have tax liabilities the banks compliance department would step in and invoke "money laundering" consequences. that also applies if any of the companies' beneficiaries have tax liabilities. but as long as both companies are setup, operated in a tax free environment and their beneficiaries are not liable to pay any taxes, nobody can raise an eyebrow.
