Seems like banning shorts will dry up an awful lot of liqiudity. And there certainly will be no short covering rallies to stem a plunge.

The Japan government is playing games. After they have their fun the real market will have its way.

Ban on short selling in Japan? I don't think so? Someone just posted an article and it was mainly saying that the SEC Japan equivalent had crack down on certain illegal activities on certain short sellers than scared the rest of the hedge funds. That tells me that there was a lot of illegal shorting being done. But I could be wrong. So, does anyone have more details on the specifics?
