<<Now, if they are onto banning shorting, how about banning
OTC derivatives?>> absolutely.
Look at the history of derivatives from being next to nothing in the 70s to then to slowly grow like some dread virus , such in notional terms, they are now decidedly greater than the value of the planet--it is insane.(footnote:That is if anyone would want this planet:)

But one can think of derivatives as viral and the planet is now profoundly sick, yes, with a severe strain of PIGS FLU.:(

With derivalives now over 1,000 trillion notional value.

If ONLY 1% were on the losing side of this so called "zero sum" game, that would be 10Trillion in REAL dollars.
Imagine 5%!!!!!! Max
