Making Sense of Short Selling

There is no logic in banning short selling on only selected classes of shares. The rules should be for all stocks, not just the ones in panic. You will now see your hedge vultures turn to other stocks for the shorting game.

Bear in mind it was your Republicans who loosened the rules for short selling by abandoning the former uptick rule in the first place. Now you get kneejerk response to their own error which has nearly caused world catastrophe.
