#11It helped Greece out alot last year didn't it? Government intervention into markets is NEVER a good thing. Yes it made a lot of people cover shorts in Euro financials today when the rumor started and yes it will buy these banks some time with their stock prices buoyed, but they need alot more than just a couple of weeks. How credible were the government-mandated stress tests just a month ago that gave all these banks a big thumbs up when they begin to crumble at the first onslaught of stress? They were pure bullshit......and people don't lie and pull cover-ups over positive developments.Comment -

#13Short sellers are an integral part of the market and should not be limited. And remember, at some point they have to cover their position(s).Comment -

Why not ban long buying? Why all the discussion about the uptick rule on short selling but nothing about the downtick rule on long buying? Nothing but hypocrisy.Comment
