The Investment Thread

The sentiment in these rules is to prevent undue harm to the greater market.

This answers a few of my questions all along. Why doesn’t these hedges and big banks just close (not cover, but close) their short positions. They are fighting tooth and nail to live another day. It seems now they are just buying time until new rules get out in place to protect them.
