    Your still missing the point.

    IF the government keeps meddling in FREE market no one in the world will ever TRUST them again.

    In case you don't know, that's a very bad thing.

  10. Yep... shorts got nuked so bad. That wasn't me, but I wonder how many people blew up their accounts on this change the rules in the middle of the game play.

    Now, think about how things are going to meltdown from the ban. The ban could be nail in the coffin instead of the saving grace.
