Return of short-selling bans: market protection or 'war against truth'?

[qlai]

but when the market panics and on certain days the direction is so obvious, you can leverage up intraday to make a killing.

I think this is the first time I hear you advocate short term trading. On the short side nonetheless! This must mean we're topping out

have posted something similar before

on the way up there are many choppy days - the greed is not a strong enough emotion.

on the way down not only the panic crowd is so committed to 'get me out at any price', hence the direction is more certain and the move is bigger, but there is also the margin call factor.... that's when leveraging up makes sense intraday, then reduce exposure to sleep better..
