Short selling ban coming?

Nothing more than irrational reaction by retail traders. Do you really think it is going to save your ass if the hedge funds, banks and brokers (sharks) want to tank the market? All they need to do is drive the bid price so low, you will be crying uncle. How are you going to get out of your losing positions if there are no buyers? Retail traders (sardines) have no say in how the stockmarket moves. Even if you take all the monies of all retail traders (sardines), you are not going to move any stock for that matter. Okay, maybe, you can move some penny stocks but, retail traders (sardines) will be trading against other retail traders (sardines). Best stay in the kiddie pool and day trade with other retail traders (sardines). If you want to play with the hedge funds, banks, brokers (sharks), stay out of their way, feed when they feed. That way, you get the bits of food they chewed on. Scraps maybe, but, that is enough to feed you. Stay in front of them and they will swallow you whole and chew you in tiny, little pieces. Your choice.

was it conincidence?

this quarantine or shut down cannot go too long to as landlords still need to be paid and gov't wants it taxes yet business are ban from doing business? interest by businesses still need to be paid on loans etc. small to medium business cannot be shut down for more than a month or they will be out of business
the gov't would have compensate for forcing them to shut down their business oetc. quarantine or shutting down demand as
people not working for 3 months and still have to make car and rent etc. and pay health insurance and insurance. it's going cripple demand as people have less money in their pockets.

"We're gonna institute a quarantine... and China will pay for it." :rolleyes:

The market went down because of deleveraging by banks and hedge funds and such in 2008. Look what happened when China instituted the short ban on Feb 3rd. The Shanghai composite recovered pretty fast.

We'll see what happens with South Korea in a few hours anyway.

With insufficient data you insist for a 2nd time to arrive at a conclusion.
 
they should ban buying

that is what causes falls

edit this was a joke

markets are there for transactions to take place.

anything that restricts this purpose is moronic
