pEvery watcher of this week's stock market had stomached an unusual number of ups and downs. Little did people know that a recent chage of an important trading rule for short sellers may be a crucial factor behind the increased market volatility./p pIn a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/markets/2007-08-09-volatility_N.htm?csp=34"an USA Today story/a, Emily Chasan explained that the Securities and Exchange Commission changed the rule in early July without too much public attention:/p blockquoteem "Short sellers bet a stock is overvalued and that its price is likely to fall. They borrow shares, sell them and then wait for the stock to fall so they can repurchase the shares at a lower price, return them to the lender, and pocket the difference. pbr / But until last month, short sellers were only allowed to sell at a price above the last price of a stock, or at the price of the stock's last trade if it was higher than the previous price./p pThe so-called "uptick rule" or "tick test" was implemented in the 1930s after the stock market crash to ensure short sellers were not alone in causing a stock price to fall./p pBut regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the rule in July, suggesting it modestly hurt liquidity and did not appear necessary to prevent the manipulation of a stock price."/em/blockquote/p a href="http://www.pfblog.com/archives/6208_does_the_change_of_short_sale_rule_add_fuel_to_market_volatility.shtml"READ FULL POST .../a /pp pbHot Deal:/b 5% cashback on everything from a href="http://www.cardoffers.com/manage/track/e.asp?ID=100436974" target="_blank"Citi CashReturns Mastercard/a /pp/ppppRead more news like this from a href="http://www.pfblog.com/" target="_blank"PFBlog.com, The Unique Personal Finance Blog Since 2003/a. pmap name="google_ad_map_070811021746" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/070811021746?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_070811021746" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-9477731859773028amp;channel=2382296444amp;output=pngamp;cuid=070811021746amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pfblog.com%2Farchives%2F6208_does_the_change_of_short_sale_rule_add_fuel_to_market_volatility.shtml"//pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=it9ISUgU"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=wlqXjafY"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=wlqXjafY" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=HqHJbsiL"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=HqHJbsiL" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=7vWMe6lS"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?d=42" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=dfqJr9yJ"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=dfqJr9yJ" border="0"/img/a /div

pA new startup is making a bold claim: it will offer local and long-distance calls anywhere in the US for free, for life. The company, carrying a fancy name "a href="http://www.ooma.com/ooma_faq.php"ooma/a", is currently testing its service and will start signing up new customers in September. For an introductory rate of $399 to cover the equipment, you can dial everywhere in the States without worrying about your wallet./p pDon't confuse ooma with a VOIP service provider like a href="http://www.pfblog.com/archives/840_vonage_much_improved_voip_technology_and_referral_deal.shtml"Vonage/a. While still requiring a broadband internet connection, ooma's device actually uses a new technological design. According to a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/07/18/ooma-launches-free-consumer-phone-service/"TechCrunch/a:/p blockquoteemInstead of using normal exchanges to terminate calls like Vonage does, Ooma routes calls through the phone lines of other users if it can. That saves them the termination fee on the call and eliminates their largest marginal cost. That does mean that if you have a normal phone line (its not required to use Ooma) it will be used by other Ooma users, but it isn?t something you?d ever notice because your inbound and outbound calls are routed around it. And in the event you call 911, any phone call using your line is immediately broken and you are put right through. If there are no Ooma user within twelve miles of where your call is being terminated, Ooma uses the normal phone system. From the caller?s perspective, its all invisible./em/blockquote pSo do you want to take a try? /p a href="http://www.pfblog.com/archives/6203_free_domestic_calling_for_life.shtml"READ FULL POST .../a /pp pbHot Deal:/b 5% cashback on everything from a href="http://www.cardoffers.com/manage/track/e.asp?ID=100436974" target="_blank"Citi CashReturns Mastercard/a /pp/ppppRead more news like this from a href="http://www.pfblog.com/" target="_blank"PFBlog.com, The Unique Personal Finance Blog Since 2003/a. pmap name="google_ad_map_070809060020" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/070809060020?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_070809060020" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-9477731859773028amp;channel=2382296444amp;output=pngamp;cuid=070809060020amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pfblog.com%2Farchives%2F6203_free_domestic_calling_for_life.shtml"//pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=b2cP6PLm"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=uKf45V61"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=uKf45V61" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=IgOhvcQv"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=IgOhvcQv" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=WDuWmpVa"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?d=42" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?a=6w3B4aX4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/pfblog2?i=6w3B4aX4" border="0"/img/a /div
