China issued a short selling ban on Feb 3 and the Shanghai composite recovered quickly.

On Friday, some European countries banned short selling.

On March 16th South Korea plans to ban short selling for 6 months.


I think it's entirely possible we will also see a short selling ban coming soon. The SEC has done it before.
 
short is what is holding or giving you these bounces or keeping this market together.
short didn't cause the crash you people stop bidding or buying. no bids. man
it's the free market you can always shut down the market and force everyone to close their books and close the 'market' for a month
wall street is like any market..very few people here...and nobody is running to buy stocks either people don't invest in periods of uncertainty and fear and for good reason so price falls okay. just three weeks ago it was full of optimism and people were talking about taking a mortgage on their house to buy to stock or buy more
the market is just reflecting reality of what is happening. people are panicing and don't care about their investments or anything. run to the hills is the state of the country.. the hell with everyhing and fuck the BS market. run take your guns and bullets..you have people hoarding necessities...under martial law these hoarders would be shot and arrestd cause that is punishment for hoarding necessities.

I wonder if this would trigger massive selloff as institutional investments bail from a rigged system, or as expected, triggers a buyback into a rigged system favoring the bulls? I reckon the latter if what's happened in other countries is any indication.
 
What's the expression , shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted , as for China , it's just the progression of virus , in their case maybe contained , of course states has all sorts of bans and limits already, the net difference probably very little, mainly being a loss in liquidity.
 
Third bubble/bust in 20 years. Not just small insignificant bubbles either. These have been milked for every last cent (and every last holdout as well). Some of those sentiment numbers, combined with the reckless call buying in the few weeks prior to the top were historic.

No price discovery, no real pullbacks, just gap, ramp n' camp, rinse repeat for about 5 months (aided by the reckless Fed every step of the way), till it fell apart.
