• Legal short sellers must borrow the shares they sell, but naked short sellers sell shares of stock they haven’t borrowed, have no intention of borrowing and that may not even exist. This activity is illegal and has been since the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) introduced Regulation SHO, which went into effect Jan. 3, 2005. Under the SEC rule, the Nasdaq, NYSE, AMEX and smaller markets must get daily reports from Depository Trust & Clearing about failed deliveries. For the first year after the restrictions took effect, Reg. SHO decreased potential naked shorting. This year, the number of possible naked short sales has increased. Under Reg. SHO, delivery deadlines apply only to short sales made after a company appears on one of the markets’ lists. Naked shorting before that point, including the trades that put a company over the rule’s thresholds in the first place, can remain unsettled indefinitely. Responding to complaints by executives of companies victimized by naked short sellers, on July 12 THE SEC VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO PROPOSE CHANGES TO SHORT SALE REGULATIONS that would remove that clause and set deadlines for settling trades before a stock is added to a threshold list.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted a “WILDCATTING” STRATEGY TO CURB AGGRESSIVE CORPORATE ACCOUNTING PRACTICES. Oil and natural gas producers’ stated reserves were an early target, though more conservative accounting has benefited many companies by increasing the scarcity perception for these vital commodities. A more recent target—communications companies’ customer numbers—may trigger further havoc. Market reaction was muted when Income Portfolio selection Verizon Communications cut its long distance customer count by 8.5 percent recently, largely because of the company’s runaway wireless growth (see right). Others making revisions may not be so lucky. This is one more reason to treat the telecom sector carefully, despite today’s low stock prices.

• In late October, PowerShares Capital Management launched eight new exchange traded funds (ETFs). These are the new hot investment vehicles; they’re sector- or subject-specific stock portfolios that trade like stocks but allow individual investors to hold a basket of stocks similar to a mutual fund.

Granted, Merrill Lynch’s Nanotech ETF has been around longer, but this one grabbed more headlines. The Lux Nano is hardly a trip through the nano frontier. More than one third of the companies are Dow, S&P 500 or similar size companies that have tangential exposure to nanotechnology. Merrill’s Nanotech ETF has more direct beneficiaries to nanotech but with increased volatility and risk, since these little firms are usually one-trick ponies. This is great exposure for the industry but the portfolios are lame.

The article references nigerian stock exchange Story: Advisory - • In late October, PowerShares Capital Management launched eight new exchange traded funds (ETFs). These are the new hot investment vehicles; they’re sector- or subject-specific stock portfolios that trade like stocks but allow individual investors to hold a basket of stocks similar to a mutual fund.

A virtuous circle where rising stock prices push economic growth, leading to rising stock prices: Suddenly that scenario doesn’t seem so far fetched.

Net Asset Value

Over the past several days, our collection of bond investment companies has been much more volatile than normal. With many seeking out alternatives to last month's generally lousy stock market conditions in the US, bond investing is catching on. This is good, as we all would like the stock investors to figure out that bonds can be much more profitable than just clipping coupons. At the same time, in any market with novices involved, it can make for some challenging market conditions.

The trouble: Most stock investors aren't well versed in the bond market. As such, they’ll often make for easy fodder by the more experienced at the bond trading desks. This shouldn't scare you off from bonds; but when conditions become too heady for our own recommended portfolio holdings, we have to be ready to act.

The Morgan Stanley Global Opportunity Fund (US: MGB) has been a great performer over the past few years. With a solid management team that’s been buying and holding a great mix of US and international bonds, our portfolio has been generating an impressive stream of dividends while cashing in on the ongoing positive bond market conditions to grow our capital value.

It’s been doing far too well, actually. The problem: Over the past many days, the fund's stock price has been running up significantly and then was followed by some harrowing up and down days in the trading of the fund’s stock. This would be great if we were traders, but that isn't the point of our Cash Cows.

So while the underlying investments are in great shape, stock investors are buying and selling the fund’s stock and they’re creating troubles for us. As I've mentioned in By George, the company has been moving to disclose its holdings more frequently and with more detail. This is good; but that’s been delayed, only fueling the speculative trading frenzy in the bond fund’s stock.

After being in repeated contact with the company directly, we’re assured there’s nothing wrong with the investment company. Rather, it’s being traded up and down--even shorted and covered with abandon over these past several days. That’s been making for some wild pricing. Wild pricing isn't what we’re interested in when it comes to this company.

So for now, if you haven't already, take a good look at your own holdings and only hold it if you’re watching it daily. For most, it would make sense to take the profits and stand aside for now. We’ll have further information and a final portfolio recommendation shortly, so stay tuned to the Web site, the next mailed issue of Personal Finance and By George.

•London-based BetOnSports CEO David Carruthers was arrested, and subsequently fired, in late July. He’s charged with conspiracy, racketeering and fraud, along with 11 other people, BetOnSports and its founder Gary Kaplan. The company was also forced to stop accepting bets from US investors, its biggest market. The day of Carruthers’ arrest, BetOnSports shares fell 24 percent. The following day, the company suspended trading on the London exchange. Meanwhile, THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSED NEW LEGISLATION FORCING BANKS AND CREDIT CARD COMPANIES TO STOP ACCEPTING PAYMENTS FROM MORE THAN 2,300 FOREIGN GAMBLING SITES. This legislation updates the 1961 Wire Act to include the outlawing of online gambling. These latest rumblings in this sector spell more profits for our recommended online gambling company Ladbrokes. It already doesn’t accept US participation in its gambling services; and with BetOnSports out of the picture, it should capture further investor interest.

• DELL’S PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO MOUNT. In the wake of a series of poor earnings releases and a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Dell is now contending with upset consumers in Asia and the US.
