If they banned short selling, how would anyone hedge risk? Calls and puts couldn't exist. The entire derivative system would cease to exist.

The very fact that the japanese are seriously thinking about outlawing shorting means their market is basically cooked already. What do they have to lose at this point? LOL

if they restricted short selling in any way, you would see chaos. short sellers provide liquidity. without them, we would crash.

period. end of story
