Quote from MrDODGE:

US is pushing toward socialism

This is Washington insiders covering their ass for THEIR mistakes at OUR expense as taxpayers.

There is no accountability, anywhere.

2010 Deficit 10 Trillion Dollars? Who cares. They've padded their futures, and Bush will be back in west Texas fishing.

sorry I shot from the hip. As a futures/cash trader I make a lot of short trades, just read the article got it clear now.
 
As someone who follows the rules, and borrows stock the same day I short it, I fail to see any problems with this.
