So Taiwan is temporarily banning short selling because they don't want shorters depressing the market during this economic crisis. Therefore market regulators know that shorting depresses the market as a whole or at least any stocks that shorters target. So what i'm getting from this is that's its ok to screw with people's cash for the most part but not during what could be another depression. That is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Shorting can only devalue a stock or market and offers nothing positive. Therefore it should be banned period. Shorting just lets professionals steal form regular people who try to make wise investments based on DD. My guess is market regulators are involved in shorting themselves so they won't take bread of their own table unless they have too like right now.

Pure Bull$hit, just another case of the rich helping the rich get richer at the expense of the middle class!!!

Sorry for kind of venting, just make me mad when something this obvious is happening and there is nothing the little guy (like us) can do about it!
