April 16, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- A long-time champion for market reform, Bud Burrell, will now be regularly contributing to FinancialWire(tm)'s Featured Commentary and Insight news section. Burrell has actively chronicled and aggressively commented on DTCC-related issues such as those affecting Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) three years ago, and more recently in regard to the SEC's "absence" with regard to daily naked short selling activity in most, if not all, "penny stocks," noting that "all stocks, whether NYSE, NASDAQ, OTCBB or Pink Sheets, should be protected by the same regulations," and adding that such stocks of today "will become the NYSE and NASDAQ NMS stocks of a few years from now."

On another note, Burrell has recently advised that the "Goldman Sachs backlash is picking up steam," citing that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) "has been able to stay above the fray more than most of its (former) competitors over the last 6 months. Its share price has stayed above single digit-ville and Buffett's investment in the company was seen by many as the Omaha Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Now that American International Group (NYSE: AIG) has been incinerated in the mainstream media, Merrill has hidden itself under Bank of America Corporation's (NYSE: BAC) skirts and the dynamic duo of Lehman and Bear are no longer here to be kicked around, taxpayer furor is beginning to turn its attention to Goldman, and the blogosphere's criticism of the once-teflon firm is reaching a boiling point."

From one of the originals: industry authority, expert, Wall Street veteran. Love him or hate him, you will always know where he stands. His no-holds-barred style and frank honesty make his commentaries a must read.
