Short selling has been a target of ire since at least the eighteenth century when England banned it outright. It was perceived as a magnifying effect in the violent downturn in the Dutch tulip market in the seventeenth century.


It`s all fun and games until you`re on the wrong side of a trade. but I think we are talking about investors now.
Heck, exaggerated low share prices are a great buying opportunity anyway.
 
What if they were to ban buying and selling of stocks, and just have an options market?

Strategies could include long straddles/ strangles. I'd probably sell a few naked puts as well.
 
I feel like they should ban selling in general.

One directional flow of cash please !

And besides, selling is Un-Australian. :

They've jokingly been suggesting banning selling on CNBC throughout tonight. :

The artificial financial short, in long gold, going well again...

Sarcasm should be banned too.

It could be added to the existing satire bill.

Irony doesn't need to be banned after the successful CIA plot to destroy it with the Alanis Morissette song.
