Hmmmm. You may be right about that. A wholly theoretical question, and hopefully it stays that way. A more useful measure to avoid mass panic selling, would be to:

1. raise margin requirements. At every bottom, from 1932 to 1998 to last week, we get a wave of margin calls that drive prices lower.

2. put hedge funds on a short leash. The government intervention to "fix" LTCM created Moral Hazard, which encourages further overleverage and risk-taking. The sums involved are large enough to destabilize the entire market. No regulations have been put in effect to prevent future LTCM-type debacles.
