can you short the damn banks now?

?

 

gummit says no.

 

August 12th, you'll be able to is my understanding.

 

You CAN do anything you damn well please.

 

Why not just short an ETF that tracks the financial sector.... can't think of the name now, it's very volatile.

 

Short XLF or buy SKF (this one is leveraged)

 

You can shot it as long as you are not naked
OR you can shot the etf ( XLF )

 

ah yes, thanks.

 

SKF is looking jummy right about now.

Very volatile though. In fact, it's rare to see a combination of such high liquidity and long-term volitility. We are talking penny stock level here. Any other ETFs like this?

 

SKF calls when underlying is between 100-105 should be a good buy.
