This sounds like an excuse for the knee-jerks to raise margin levels for traders. You know, do it in the name of patriotism.
You know I love Minyanville dearly, but I expect better from you, spreading rumors like this.
We are all under great strain as we watch our market implode, but this is absolutely not the time to repeat hearsay.
I forgive you for this mistake. Please do not make accusations of financial terrorism without providing any proof. If our market is to be truly free, even Osama Bin Laden should be allowed to short-sell.
Don't pile on Toddo. The next time you feel like piling on the shorts, vent some anger at whoever it is in your staff that only sent me 2 Minyanville shirts when I paid for 4. Thanks.
