Quote from belmondo:
and one more question. in England, thay ban shorting financials. how can anyone buy if short is baned?
Quote from SideShowBob:
How can you buy if shorting is banned? Just enter a buy order. But to enter a sell order you need to own the shares first (under the rule you cannot sell shares you don't already own). I assume there are exceptions for those who have friends in high places.....
