any CURBS should at least include HALTING SHORT SELLING. And SHORT SELLING should be prohibited during any war or national emergency. The strength and liquidity of corporate stock shares, as collateral, for use by these companies and to allow shareholders to support the US Government from a position of wealth and power, such as being able to buy bonds, which down market shareholders can not afford, these factors, should all make SHORT SELLING prohibited during war or any national emergency....the stock market is a national strategic weapon against enemies too, listed companies are part of our national defense, and should be protected. The S.E.C. will not act unless poked and prodded by the Press, so where is CNBC in creating a discussion about these reforms, or the abuses of short selling that may have been manipulated and used by the terrorists for monetary gain on the world markets post September 11, 2001? To INFORM means to provide a FORUM and facilitate DEBATE and FREE SPEECH. CNBC needs to do more than the "regular show".
