The stock market has issues with fake shares, particularly through a practice called naked short selling, where shares that don't exist are sold. This was highlighted during the GameStop situation in 2021, where short interest reached 300%, indicating more shares were short sold than actually existed. Companies like Blockbuster and Sears faced similar fates, with short sellers driving their stock prices down until bankruptcy. When GameStop's price began to rise, short sellers faced potential infinite losses, leading to a short squeeze. Despite significant buying activity, the stock price did not reflect this due to ongoing short selling pressure. Many investors are still holding onto GameStop shares, aware that short sellers are trapped and unable to buy back without incurring massive losses. The interconnectedness of the market and the creation of counterfeit shares complicate the situation further.

The term "meme stocks" refers to manipulated stocks tied together through complex financial dealings. Bill Hwang's firm, Archegos, imploded due to trading meme stocks with hidden risks. This led to Credit Suisse's downfall, requiring a bailout for UBS. Meme stocks, like GameStop, saw unusual price fluctuations despite retail investor activity. This volatility is attributed to large capital actors manipulating prices through various means, causing irrational market behavior. The term "meme stock" aims to divert attention from these anomalies.

8% of GameStop's trades are being sold on the Memex exchange, which is run by a former Instinet CEO. This is a significant increase from 0% three years ago. By selling on custom exchanges or off-exchange platforms like dark pools, GameStop can manipulate the order flow and push the price down. This means that the traditional concept of supply and demand doesn't apply, and the market activity is essentially fake.

GameStop's situation stems from short selling, where investors borrow shares to sell, hoping to buy them back at a lower price. This practice can lead to significant losses if the stock price rises instead. Some firms, like Bain Capital, have exploited this by mismanaging companies to profit from their decline. GameStop was targeted for years, but a savvy new leader began turning it around, causing the stock price to rise unexpectedly. Short sellers, who had heavily bet against GameStop, found themselves in trouble as they needed to buy back shares at higher prices. The more they bought, the higher the price went, creating a cycle that pressured them further. Retail investors recognized this and decided to hold their shares, realizing they had leverage over the short sellers who needed to close their positions.

Banks are attempting to change rules to avoid collapse, particularly in relation to derivatives. Derivatives are risky bets in the stock market that caused the 2008 financial crisis. Despite promises of regulation, banks continue to engage in unregulated and unreported derivative trading. A new proposed rule aims to allow big banks to avoid margin calls during periods of market volatility, essentially giving them a free pass on risky bets. The recent example of Archegos and Credit Suisse highlights the dangers of counterparty risk in the derivative market. This rule change suggests that banks are anticipating increased market volatility. Overall, politicians and regulators are aligned with the interests of banks, and the global monetary system is highly leveraged.

We were dangerously close to a system failure on January 28th due to excessive short positions. If call options were exercised, shorts would have had to deliver more shares than existed, causing chaos. To prevent this, short positions should be published daily and brokers should charge 1% more margin for each 1% of short interest to discourage shorting stocks. This would help avoid potential market collapse.

Larry Fink is now running, I believe, the World Economic Forum. He's acting chairman. Terrifying. He says that everything will be tokenized and that everything will soon be on the same universal digital ledger or database and that everything on that database will have a unique identifier number. So, for you as an individual, your identifier number will presumably be your digital ID or directly linked to that, but everything will have a digital ID. The tokenization agenda in particular seeks to tokenize not just assets we traditionally think of, like real estate, for example, or gold or, you know, physical assets as well as digital assets like Bitcoin. There's a major effort connected with people like Fink and also people like Mark Carney, who's now Prime Minister of Canada, to tokenize the natural world and transform it into financial assets. There was an attempt to do this to an extent under the Biden administration, I believe through the Department of Interior with natural asset corporations, but that has not gone away. There are groups—for example, one of the creators of the ETF model originally, which BlackRock now owns, iShares, his name is Peter Kanez, I think is how you pronounce it—who's trying to turn the Amazon Rainforest into a digital commodity, sort of similar to Bitcoin in terms of the scarcity idea that each hectare of the Amazon Rainforest would represent a token and financialize it that way. And then each hectare would then have its unique identifier, right, on the blockchain and would be serviced by surveillance drones and all sorts of stuff. So even our most natural, the places we conceptualize as the most natural places on earth, these people want to come in and place surveillance technology and tokenize it and put it on a blockchain and use it to, know, I would argue in the case particularly of natural asset corporations and the group behind it, the intrinsic exchange group, they just want to open up a huge new asset class. They call it Nature's Opportunity so that they can continue engaging in the same type of bad behavior that, for example, brought us the two thousand eight financial crisis, by, you know, can kentoopling, basically, the amount of assets currently in play. It's You know, insane. I had a guy who worked, very, very, very high up at Citibank. And he told me around 02/2008, he said, Glenn, you know, don't worry about the financial system. And I'm like, uh-huh. And, he said, you know, we're never gonna go broke. I mean, do you know how much just the national parks are worth? And I looked at him and said, are you seriously telling me that we should commoditize the national parks? And he said, it's gonna happen. And I wonder now if this is what he was talking about. If it was just a digital not actually selling them, it's just a digital commoditization of our parks. Yeah. So apply this now to the the phrase that we all heard during the COVID era, you'll own nothing and be happy. Well Yes. There's certain people that want to own everything, and that includes things that have never been able to be owned before that were considered things like the public commons, like rivers, lakes, the ocean itself, natural forests, all sorts of it. These people want to put all of that into the financial system, fractionalize it, tokenize it, and sell pieces of it around, you know, use it to speculate on. Mean, it's It's very insane.

A discussion centers on the Trump administration’s push to nationalize prediction markets under the guise of sports betting, a move the hosts argue would enrich the Trump family and a circle of tech and gambling executives. They critique the CFTC chair for attempting to preempt state regulation and argue that this constitutes regulatory capture, with state sovereignty at stake and potential conflicts of interest given ties to Kalshi, Poly Market, DraftKings, and FanDuel. The conversation highlights public safety concerns, pointing to examples of insider trading, high-stakes bets on life-and-death events, and the risk of exposing ordinary Americans to unchecked gambling through federal action that overrides state controls. They contrast the behavior with broader questions about how American markets are governed, calling out what they describe as gaslighting around the nature of these markets and stressing the need for robust safeguards and clear boundaries between gambling and derivatives discussions.

Pomp Podcast #241: Caitlin Long On What Structural Issues Are Being Exposed By This Financial Crisis
Guests: Caitlin Long
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Caitlin Long, a trained lawyer and former Wall Street executive, discusses her journey into Bitcoin and blockchain technology, emphasizing her focus on addressing issues within the traditional financial system. She highlights her work in Wyoming to create a legal framework for digital assets and announces her plans to establish a special-purpose bank that offers 100% reserved financial services. Long reflects on the financial crisis of 2008, noting how it sparked her curiosity about the disconnect between mainstream economic explanations and reality. She identifies current market volatility as a liquidity crisis, where investors are selling liquid assets to obtain cash, leading to severe dislocations in financial markets, particularly in U.S. Treasuries. Long expresses concern over the reliance on the repo market for funding by big banks, which she believes is a significant risk factor. She explains that the Treasury auctions are crucial for government funding and that any failure in this market could have dire consequences. Long argues that the current crisis is exacerbated by a massive debt bubble, which has been growing for decades, and that the coronavirus pandemic is merely the catalyst that has exposed these underlying vulnerabilities. Long critiques the government's response to economic downturns, advocating for a hands-off approach similar to that of President Harding during the 1920 depression, which allowed for a quicker recovery. She warns against the dangers of monetary stimulus and corporate bailouts, which she believes prolong economic pain and exacerbate wealth inequality. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between assets that are IOUs and those that are not, such as cryptocurrencies and physical commodities. Long encourages individuals to educate themselves about financial systems and prepare for potential opportunities that may arise from the current crisis. She concludes by expressing optimism for a more equitable financial system in the future, despite the immediate challenges posed by the pandemic and economic instability.
