I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a great presentation. The guy is so clued up, and he's got a lot of courage to take on Wall Street. He called the naked short selling issue in 2005. If only people like this were listened to and not derided.
Oh yeah, his name is Patrick Byrne, he's CEO of Overstock.com and founder of www.deepcapture.com. I'm sure you can find his e-mail address at one of those sites.

If you are interested in the guy theres a great interview over at CNet.com with him. A really great guy who has lived a pretty interesting life.

Dude, awesome linkage! Best hour I have spent learning in awhile. Very great stuff
Do you know who did it so I can send him a thank you as well? That was surely a lot of effort.

Make sure to watch the presentation on 'naked short selling' at http://www.businessjive.com/. It's a very thorough explanation if you are looking to understand what 'naked short selling' is, how it works and how it's been abused. Mind blowing.
