Cris Cox (SEC Chairman) has temporarily suspended the practice of
selling short on Wall Street as of this morning. Good move.
Too bad it was he who did away with the long standing "Uptick Rule"
last year that banned naked short selling. He did so as an "experiment"
to see if the rule, in place since 1938, was really necessary.
The results of his experiment are obvious.

I just *love* how the "free market system" the Republicans/Conservatives
tout works out...when it starts to hurt the wealthy, why, we bail them
out...
Capitalism at its best...
