Shorting means providing better and more efficient pricing to the market. I am all for it. Shorting a stock has little to do with bankrupting an otherwise good company.

How would you like it if the Fed following your ingenious advice and hiked rates in August of last year and 50% of all brokers would be illiquid and bankrupt today. Would the fact that you can't withdraw client funds from your broker make the situation any better? "Clearing out the system" yes?

What happened to those risk free 'inflation hedge trades' as the 'FED IS JUST PRINTING MORE DOLLARS AND INFLATING COMMODITIES'??????????????????

To all the economy PHDs here on ET preaching rampant inflation... hows that inflation hedge trade doing? Long Sugar, Long Copper, Long Gas, Long Oil, Long Coffee, Long Cocoa, Long Cotton? Getting nervous anyone? :p

Still... JPM up 9.5%, market is clearly trading as if they got handed a bone for free here by the Fed with a lot of good meat on it.

Everything. Feelings have no place in a trading forum.

Can't wait to see where wheat will open.

Who are you to say where the market "should" be trading? Still rationalizing market moves?
