off the subject, but has anyone noticed that now that the short sale rule is gone, people have been using it as the reason why the market are down and so volatile over the past few months? I've heard it a few times now, about many blackbox's smashing the bid, and thats the reason the markts are going down 200+ a day. Such a joke
zdick What a ass you are! How long have you been a losing trader? Change your attitude it might help you in life. In the meantime crawl back in your hole asshole! It's scum like you that ruin this site!
your post was seven weeks after my last post. bottom line neither the OP or other posters with 1 exception shared any information.
going to penny increments before elimination of the uptick rule also made shorting easier. the question is whether in a sustained downdraft in the market will the uptick rule be reinstituted? as to volatility a 200 point move at these levels is a small %move.
The SEC had test stocks for about 2 years so i do not see how they could, even with pressure from people like Schumer, they would have a bunch of imperial data. IMO its so narrow minded, there are plenty of Futures options and ETF's you can hit without a downticks, so i dont see how being able to short stocks on a downticks makes a difference. The uptick rule did not lower the market, 100 billion of bank write downs did
