What was that selloff about EOD

Quote from stock_trad3r:

Seems like there is no support when the selling gets underway.

Unintended consequence of the short sale ban, but your friendly anchors on CNBC won't tell you that.

I get a chuckle whenever I see or hear someone say "just imagine how bad things would be if they still allowed short selling." For some reason it's not computing in their heads that this recent volatility expansion occurred after the short sale ban... hmmm I wonder if there might be a cause & effect relationship there. Who else do they think is going to buy when the market is crashing?
