> me short selling ... are among technological "improvements"

that's why, to protect the pensions and savings of its citizens from a catastrophic collapse in equity markets a couple of years ago, the chinese government decided to ban short selling. up and up and up, baby!

i think the government should go one step further, and prevent anyone from selling stock lower than the price they paid for it. guaranteed profit for everyone!
