I want the Wall St. bitchez to engage in a lot of naked shorts. They'll ruin themselves and learn to leave Bitcoin to people that are more reality-oriented.

They'd just declare bankruptcy and stiff the exchanges that permitted them the credit to run naked shorts. We have nothing to gain by permitting holders of US $ to short bitcoins naked. They can short fully covered, like the rest of us, and still lose their shirt just fine. I should know, I lost nearly everything.

Yep, full reserve trading it the only way. Mark these words.

using RIPPLE-COIN it might in theory be poss to naked short sell BTC

or if someone else comes up with a scheme, like Mt.Gox operatives.

would that be desirable for the sake of a more stable exchange rate ?

The last thing we want is naked short selling and derivatives. We need less pure speculation and more price discovery. Go back to Wall St.
