And the SEC will require hedge funds and others to disclose their short positions and their CDS positions, for financial stocks - under oath. This is presumably a precursor to imposing a recurring disclosure requirement.

Hedge funds actively involved in financial stocks have got to be worried. The govt is looking for someone to hang.

I do suspect there is some coordinated shorting and CDS manipulation going on. Maybe not a lot, but some. Even if a fund is not doing anything wrong, why would it want the risk and exposure?
