Yes, after the market crashes hard they will be begging for the shorties to come back.

Please clarify.

So I can short XLF, but I can't go long SKF! The three stooges in charge?

XLF not on the SEC list?

Guaranteed crash now after the shorties are squeezed dry. The US is a joke.

So why is SKF halted? Is it because that would be shorting financials by going long? And that is now prohibited? At what moment in time did that become law (if it did)? I mean, you can still short financials at IB. Are they gonna come around and arrest me for putting out a short on the XLF...

This morning and the open were crazy. I doubt anyplace had it right. Anybody trade somewhere where the quotes seemed rock solid?

The US is guaranteed toast now. Who wants to trade in a market like this? By the way, when does this prohibition on short sales start? Or is it just a rumor?

That was 10 fat fingers, two fat feet, and a fat bum.

Was it on an ECN? ISLD usually busts within an hour of the transaction. ARCA takes their sweet old time, you can usually rest easy by the time 11am rolls around. However, they have come back with busts at 2pm or even the next day. ARCA is totally ridiculous in terms of how it handles busts...

You short, you go to jail! I've heard they are working on imprisoning sellers now too. Watch out! The people responsible for this need to be fired ASAP.

With this anti-shorting move, big crashy time ahead. It is going to be brutal and nothing will be spared.

Don't you know, they are gonna come arrest all of us who buy SKF cause that is shorting the financials! Shorting = bad!

Doesn't that imply that TS lets you short without a locate then? The whole tone of the letter implies it is the customer's responsibility to find a locate. That is bizarre.

I better load up before they impose that limit then. That kind of crap will make oil go to $200.

Welcome to Socialism 'R Us.

If they ban short selling then that is definite proof that the financial system is just a sham. Bye bye capitalism.

I couldn't have said it any better. But I'll try: Financials: "Mommy mommy, I hit a kid the other day and took his lunch money, but now that kid is kicking the crap out of me! Save me!"

I think you didn't pass the test that allows you to post here.

See, this is the kind of info you need to tell us before today. Unbelievable move.
