This blog is dedicated to Bob O'Brien's Sanity Check editorials, and discussions about the Market Reform Movement, the SEC, failing to deliver/naked shorting, etc. It was created so that his many detractors and fans can tell him that he is full of it, correct his mistakes, rant and rave, kowtow, preen, or whatever seems appropriate. The only sins are being boring, or inarticulate, or dim. Humorous pieces can be found in the new Funny Bunny Blog area above, for a lighter-hearted take on being a bunny. Older Bobo blogs can be viewed by selecting a month under the calendar to your right. http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/BlogId/1/Default.aspx en-US admin@thesanitycheck.com Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:54:57 GMT Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:54:57 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.2.0.29758 In this episode, we contemplate the intellectual sleight of hand used by Wall Street's wholly captured SEC apologists.... http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/700/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/700/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=700 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:52:00 GMT 11 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=700 In the latest CYA BS statements from the completely bent SEC, Cox declares the SEC's double standard as clearly as could be wished for. http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/699/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/699/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=699 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:59:00 GMT 42 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=699 What if I told you that instead of the promised action to make a change in the rules to eliminate the patently unlawful Market Maker exemption, that the SEC had instead stalled it yet longer??? http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/698/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/698/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=698 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:51:00 GMT 13 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=698 Patrick has created a contest with serious money behind it, to create awareness of Mark Mitchell's stupendous piece chronicling the entire saga of NSS, and our roles in the drama. http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/697/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/697/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=697 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:46:00 GMT 17 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=697 And that was my optimistic working title.... http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/696/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/696/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=696 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:36:00 GMT 25 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=696 The SEC, incapable of ending the rampant manipulation arising from the market maker exemption in Reg SHO, and which has stonewalled the NIPC petition cataloging the host of Federal securities laws being violated by their treatment of securities entitlements, can't rush a rule through fast enough to limit the liability of their paymasters at the prime brokers.... http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/695/Default.aspx http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanityCheckBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/695/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thesanitycheck.com/Default.aspx?tabid=56&EntryID=695 Tue, 20 May 2008 14:12:00 GMT 56 http://www.thesanitycheck.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=695 For years, I have known and understood an awful lot of what is contained in the story you are about to read.
