Wow. I cannot believe what I am reading. I honestly cannot.
This is becoming a police state. The numbskulls in so government has become so desperate, that they are resorting to an interference with the markets that I honestly thought never would happen in a "free" country.
I have speculated before that this sort of thing might happen, but I wasn't really serious. This is really disappointing, since it shows a level of meddling that I thought was just for the third world. Not us.
And, frankly, it only convinces me more that this market is doomed. Because if they have to go to this extreme – – making shorting stocks illegal – – this market is going to eventually get pounded. They can make shorting illegal. But not selling.
