Market down? Blame us short sellers!

[lindq]

Yep, it's our fault. I admit it.

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything that has ever come out of Washington. God forbid.

It's all of us wasteful, good-for-nothing traders.

Reinstate the uptick rule. Price has to be 3% above the last bid in order to short. And then you can do 50 shares.

Or, hell, just throw anybody in jail who shorts a stock.

Or even thinks about it.

By God, it's just anti-American to do anything other than buy and hold.

If Washington says we're coming back...then who the heck are you to question them?

is there anything surprising about a 5% move down after a 60% straight up move?

Yes. This market is only supposed to go up. Cramer told me so.

Well, that's probably more often than he changed his underwear.
