The Uptick Rule and Short selling abuses in the U.S.
07/28/2008
The suspension of the Uptick Rule and the S.E.C.'s dire lack of enforcement all seem to suggest that the regulatory mission of the S.E.C. has been influenced by those who are being regulated. Conservatives running the government and regulatory agencies mistakenly assumed that lower regulation was somehow part of the new system of free enterprise that was delivering results. As long as the economy did well they saw no reason to question this, and in fact let regulation wither to the extreme provoking the crisis by letting excesses develop and accumulate. The abuses of excessive leverage under a Fuld at Lehman and of mortage sales under a Mozilo at Countrywide were barely understood by Cox and company at the SEC till they undermined the very foundations of free enterprise.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
