Subject: STOP SHORTSELLERS  S7-24-99


The shortselling is adding to the demise of the financial markets.
I think that something should be done to prevent the further collapse 
of the markets and the economy in general.Workers across this nation 
are losing there life savings as well as employee retirement programs 
contributed greatly by the greed and coruption of short-sellers and 
market makers!The savings of most americans is being wiped out by a 
relatively small group of short-sellers spreading false rumors and 
ponding the bids with piles of money.I truly believe the downard 
spiral would have ended long ago if there where a moritorium on 
shorting of securities.
