Naked, Short and Greedy

Wall Street's Failure to Deliver

By: Susanne Trimbath

Narrated by: Dr. Susanne Trimbath

Rigged financial markets and hopeless under-regulation on Wall Street are not new problems. In this book, Susanne Trimbath gives a sobering account of naked short-selling, the failure to settle, and her efforts over decades trying to get this fixed.

Twenty-five years ago, Trimbath was working “backstage at Wall Street” when a group of corporate trust specialists told her about a problem in shareholder voting rights. When she went to senior management at Depository Trust Company (DTC), then and still the largest securities depository in the world, they brushed it off, saying, “You can’t balance the world”. Ten years later, a lawyer from Texas would tell her that the same problem was about to blow up the financial markets: Wall Street brokers are using short sales and failures to deliver to grab the assets of American entrepreneurs.

This is a cautionary tale. What started as a regulatory failure turned into a regulatory crisis. Shareholder democracy is in shambles. The institutions that were established to correct a problem of trade settlement failures have instead exacerbated the problem. Global financial markets may not survive what comes next.

Most important investment book ever written

If you own stock or plan on starting a company that has stock, this is a must read.

Depth of Knowledge made easy to grasp

Explains the growing sense of unease and distrust I've been feeling regarding our investment portfolio. Right in line with "The Great Taking" by Webb.
Getting the heck out of the stock & bond markets seems the best answer as it appears the average invester has no way to invest there safely. Like so many longstanding institutions corruption runs too deep in the financial sector to even know where to start in attempting to repair it. Sad state.

Infuriating

well written and narrated description of the system we're trapped in and how we the people are farmed for our life value.

Thanks for the continued fight Dr. T!

Dr. T. Has been a veteran in this space and continues to educate and fight for the masses. She has somehow been able to condense this incredible amount of information into this (audio)book.
Thank you for all you do and opening up our eyes.

DRS

Thank you so much, Dr Trimbath, for your dedication to exposing this great injustice. I hope your name is in history books one day. I've been learning more about market structure since the initial Gamestop run-up in January 2021, but I had no idea just how bad things are.

DRS'ing your shares is the only way to make sure
you're not holding the phantom share bag.
