SEC Considering 'Market-Wide' Short Sale Rule

its about time. enforcing the law, gee what a concept. everybody knows that the hedge funds control the sec and gov. at this point. they are huge pools of unregulated captial that can do anything the want. buy off pols in washington (you better believe it!), pile on small caps and destroy companies. you bet, its called "death by short". not enforcing the naked shorting rule is yet another example of how the gov looks out for the big guys against the little ones.

but but wait, if the companies didn't have probs already, then the shorts wouldn't be there. look: all companies have probs from time to time. naked shorting causes moral to drop, employees to leave, customers to scratch their heads and say "hmm, i better hold off buying from these guys, they might not be around much long..." etc.
