I look for an announcement that short selling will be banned temporarily. I suspect this announcement will come over the weekend.

Heck, why don't they just shut down the exchanges indefinitely? Make it illegal to trade, period.

@Buy1Sell2 wants to be refunded buy the government because it's morally wrong to sell short.

Great news today is that we did not exapnd the range much if at all and the basing can continue for the rise back up. It's a good time to be an American ---and a trader!

If all is well in America like you keep saying - there is absolutely no reason to ban short selling. You're contradicting yourself.

He also assumes that the market is falling due to short sellers. But the current monthly short interest hasn't increased much above normal levels, which indicates longs are still liquidating. Vanguard's VOO ad one holder dump 4 Billion this week I understand.

Banning short selling likely hastens the fall rather than halts it.

What I think a lot of folks are missing is that the market was only down 4.34% on a Fri when states are beginning to lock down. This is actually tremendous new and should heralded. As I mentioned, the other day I went to a very aggressive posture in equities outside of trading and will holed them long haul.
