Thank you for saying what I have been thinking for years, but could not articulate as well as you have. Shorting goes against what the markets were intended for and should be illegal. That will be the only way to end the crash. Pistov

In my opinion any kind of short selling whether the supposed legitimate kind or naked should be made illegal with stiff penalties and jail time attached.

Shorting is the well spring of much of the corruption and manipulation in the markets. No one has the right to sell somethng that does not belong to them, it is nothing but conterfeiting of shares.

It was made legal in my opinion for the sole purpose to allow manipulation and so that the financial institutions could play both ends of the market while collecting fee's.

All of a sudden now that it is being used against those financial institutions who have profitted so greatly from it in the past. It is being deemed illegal. This is good.

The financial institutions now realize that the monster they let out has gotten out of control as too many people are starting to realize what shorting is all about.

Many investors are realizing that our supposed free markets are not free at all. Instead they are nothing but a rigged craps game designed to transfer wealth from the working class to the wealthy unless you know how the system is designed.

When enough investors realize this, then they will stop playing the game and not put their money in the markets anymore. This is why in my opinion as the markets continue to crash you will eventually see the authorities ban shorting altogether in order to try and regain credibiity to the system.

If no one enters the casino to play then it will soon go bankcrupt, much better to take a smaller piece of the pie then have no pie at all hahahahahaha.
