<<they should have shut off the short selling months ago >>

Why do you say that?

Perhaps they should have shut off long dumping.

short selling is NOT the reason of the market decline... short selling is a tool, no more no less.

maybe the government ought to have shut down the markets at the top of the mania and declared all gains "secured & locked" that would be equally ridiculous as "forbidding short selling"
