    Financial Short Interest and the SEC [view article]
    Even without legal shorts - there are still bearish ETF's and ultrashort ETF that utilize dark pool equities

    It's a market equalizer gone wrong without regulation - now it's so massively complicated there won't eb enough time to get to the bottom of it - let DOW hit 7,000 and have massive panic in the streets, then we'll really be worried

    1984 if you want communism you can move to Cuba. America is the only nation in the world which is not heavily socialist/communist. Let's keep it that way. Reply

    Ban on Short Sale Ends - Hold Your Breath [view article]
    hey CaptD why dont we just ban selling for a loss?!

    that'll work

    if there was never a ban...we would probably be above 10,000

    There was no short squeeze rally after the bailout....why???

    there were no shorts in the financial names to squeeze...     Reply

    Shorts are helping create this market envirnment! Many companies like GE are under attack from the GLOBAL shorts (Oil $) and as a MAJOR US Defense contractor it is just one of the most visible companies in what I am now calling the (FIRST) ECONOMIC WORLD WAR or EWW 1.

    If MAJOR recovery does not really happen tomorrow (10/10/08) then that will signal the beginning of a total economic collapse of the life style we have known in the past. Global "foot draging" where nobody wants to be first to lend $.

    Get ready to discover many straGEtic US companies that are getting ripe for foreign takeover UNLESS SHORT TRADING IS HALTED ASAP BY THE SEC until things return to "normal", (LIKE YESTERDAY). Imagine if Boeing was bought by Iran or China or Russia!

    Our money (SEC) people are thinking of themselves instead of what is best for our country and will be labeled as $ Traitors as this man made situation continues to go down faster and faster.     Reply

    One of the most fundamental consequences of the shorting ban was to further undermine the public's confidence in the market. This is a crisis of confidence and trust. The end of the ban will be another brick in the wall to build a short term rally (maybe lasting a whole four trading sessions), before we descend toward deeper lows. Reply

    Short selling ban was nothing more than a scapegoating ploy by the government to blame "someone".

    Impact of short sellers on stocks is negligible. The volume of short selling is tiny compared to daily volume. How can 2% of all trades "drive" a stock down unless everyone else is selling too?

    Bearfund is right. A lack of buyers with only a very few sellers will do more to drive a stock down than anything else, whether those sellers already own the stock or are shorting it. If there is an endless supply of willing buyers shorting will only slow down the rising price momentarily.

    It is probably closer to the truth to say that there was an oversupply of 'longers' that drove the price to extreme heights than to say 'shorters' drove it down.

    Ban "Longing" in the market. That will fix things. :-)     Reply

    Whatever it is they better get it right quick before the economy goes into paralysis!!!!
    A very quick fix could be to suspend the "Mark-to-Market' rule. This is a siily rule that has no scientific basis for its implementation as the crystal-ball of markets has never been found or defined-especially not by the green eye-shade folks!!!!!     Reply

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me understand the P/E of ebay? It has gone from 94 in May to 43 today. When the Skype write-down comes off, how will it affect the P/E and is this good or bad?     Reply

    Is there any chance that the shorts would want to go out and cover pretty quickly (today?) now that they have the opportunity and don't want to be stuck in this same position, potentially, days or weeks from now? Reply
