Your prior post was interesting... but just in general, are you for or against short selling? Is it just program short selling you object to... or pension fund short selling?

Japan doesn't allow short selling and I always felt that was yet another contributor to their inability to re-emerge. (not the tactic of short-selling per se, but the mindset of disallowing short selling).

Free and tolerant..yuk yuk..tell that to bagholders who followed analyst recommendations to buy and hold and "accumulate" and "put money to work" while other clients sold.

Forward looking of course..hence 'da boyz' sold and shorted their way last 2-3 years as my guess.

The mysterious bunch as they are, contrary to poular opinion and notion, da boyz short a lot imo.

And for changes that will restrict short selling?

That will not happen, 'cause da boyz want that.

Else how else would they make money?

I mean they want to make it BOTH ways.

Simple as that from a layperson's point of view.
