Hey I got a great idea! How about a law banning the stock market from dropping at all? Then, by law, the only direction it can go is up! I wonder why some wise democrat hasn't thought of that already? After all is it fair that sometimes people lose in the stock market?

Think of this: This plan was hastily crafted by the SEC.
(That says a mouthfull)

The regulators still are trying to figure out what caused the flash crash. (So they are coming up with a solution to a problem that they still don’t understand)

Boy this ought to fix the problem. More artificial controls on the market. Just kicks the can down the road again. Seems like they want to artificially stabilize the market leading up to November. After November, who knows.
