That is a very interesting concept. For traders, it kind of flies with the traditional thinking that when the public goes wildly bullish, that's the end of the up move and vice versa. Now the public is being lured into the bear world.

No doubt you've seen the ultrashort funds. I've been trading the FXP and EEV. It's possible the success here may be part of what you are suggesting, although the volume is relatively light I believe. There is a counterparty risk disclosed.

In any event, as I posted here recently, I've often suggested that the issues of manipulative naked shorting will gain traction when there is a major collapse. We're starting to see some advances, which many here rightfully term "window dressing," but advances nevertheless.

(Did others see Cramer's rant about restoring the "uptick" rule?)

One can also raise the issue of what is the best result for the money players? Do they risk a major market tanking if it leads to the "end of the game?" Or can it be argued that the game never ends, but rather the rules just get re-defined. That's part of what you are saying I believe.

As for "ads", have you seen this one?
