Hedge funds: Suing the SEC?

You and all the other hedge funds are only interested in one thing.Greed,you are not doing anything but profitting on others misfortune.May you all suffer what innocent employees,are suffering with the loss of there jobs.You people dont give a shit about anybody.What about the guy who makes your lunch he or she might be out of work.Assholes

BETTING ON STOCKS STOCKS TO GO DOWN AND/OR BORROWING STOCKS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. THE STOCK MARKET "IS NOT" A LAS VAGAS CASINO !

I disagree! Hedge Funds and short sellers have NO right to reclaim any losses,any more than I do if I lose money investing. They have no legal right to sell something they don't own and no legal right to borrow my stocks without my knowledge and approval which happens when Brokers holding stock in the street name lend the shares to short sellers. What kind of Country allows people to take a risk and then sue when they get no reward? the US of A evidently does as evidenced by the bailouts and bankruptcy of so many entities. SORRY, but I hope the cases get thrown out of Court!

Profiting on others misfortunes? With that argument, then those that go long are just profiting on others fortunes.

I see no reason why market forces shouldn't be allowed to drive the price of a stock in any direction they please.

Grounds for litigation against SEC is limited unless the question of why trading troubled stocks was not suspended for 10 days by the SEC? Caution in retrospect would have been the better part of valor had Chairman Christopher Cox acted more decisively.

Everyone should be suing the Hedge Fund and Credit Rating Agencies. We should also sue our legislators for removing the legislation which had kept this from happening for 70 years.

OBVIOUSLY, no one here knows what a hedge fund does.

There are companies out there that lie about how they are doing to STEAL investors money. They use accounting tricks, purchase other companies, don't do their job, but.. cover it up to raise the share price a profit by lying to YOU, the investor.

Hedgefunds... identify these companies. And say hey they are crooks, their stock should not be worth it is. So, they decide to make an investment shorting the company.

The government wants us to not lose confidence in the banking system. Which the truth is.. the banks were GREEDY because they were profiting and gambling on subprime housing loans. But, the finger was pointed at shorting and hedgefunds instead of the REAL problem.

They won't sue the SEC because if they do a backlash could develop and end up with stricter regulation in the long run that seriously harms their industry. Most average Americans think Hedge Funds are crooked market manipulators.

These type of fund are necessary, but you can't have a re-emergence of Jay Gould types either. If every action taken by a fund can be proven ligit - they have a case. I doubt that this will be the case as they all probably could not resist temptation all the time.
Besides, the mess is much too large and many scapegoats will be required.
