Hi Julius, Stock holders get paid from brokers who lend their shares to those who want to short shares, and then brokers charge more money for loaning those shares, but it surely does not come up with 100% of the value of the stock being lended. Sounds like that is a law that radically reduces the ability to short shares or radically will increase the costs of doing so. In summary those who can short are primarily the market makers. I suspect shorts will be covered and the markets will become more highly valued, till the market makers make it heavy up there in those lofty valuations. An incentive to boost the euphoria at even higher highs? I very seldom short, so I'm by no means an expert, but that's my best thought on that change. Thanks for the heads up! More experienced views welcomed! Bob
