Comments & Outlook

As you know, I support the continuing work of Dave Patch (“Patchie”) to outline weakness in the regulatory fabric of US capital markets. In his latest blog (April 10), he writes about more dubious practices on Wall Street that he believes are intended to harm Overstock.com. He calls the piece, “Several options for fraud”. I hope you read it.

This is a serious issue for those of you who are interested in having a level playing field. Right now, one does not exist and it won’t ever happen unless we fight for it. You can do your part by contacting Dave Patch and asking him to have your voice heard at the SEC.
