Short selling needs to be significantly curtailed in our markets. I would add that the derivative(s) markets as a whole are no longer about, “insurance” but more about manipulation. Synthetic shorting using puts and calls is not about providing business with investment capital but about controlling stock prices.
Of course, the wall street protesters are not there for these reasons, they are simply tools of the left.

The wacko that wrote this piece is a Media Matters senior fellow and a left winger. I and several others torment this guy on his blog “attytood” on a regular basis. He still lives in the 60s.
