Change the rules back to 2006. Uptick rule. Stop the big players from getting huge profits from shorting.
That causes further falls, and more profits for those causing this. They are trying to replicate the 2008 crisis.
Agreed. In fact, I would like to see short sale profits taxed at twice the rate to discourage it.
Shorting has it's place, but it's overused to the detriment of companies, the stock market and to some degree the economy in general.
