Banning Shorts Works in Fancy Restaurants, Not the Marketplace

Banning Shorts Works in Fancy Restaurants, Not the Marketplace

So who can the little investor who paid $23 plus on Sept 19th, turn to now? Paulson, the gang of "long cheerleaders" on CNBC, you guys on here who are against shorting? If shorting wasn’t banned that day the little investor wouldn't have paid the $23 bucks, it would have never gone there! The government is trying to control the markets which are a rigged game as it is.

qw - shorts, artificial valuation - how come nobody complains when longs push a stock up to crazy levels? What about the investor who buys a stock at 100 that went up from 40 and then goes back down to 40 and the investor loses everything because of the "artificial valuation at 100"? Why is that not criminal? Can someone please explain that to me?
