Re: so we all pay for the greed of a few
Well it's said without a bailouyt the stock market could lose 1/3rd of it's value, that's a correction that will trigger all 3 circuit breakers designed to limit panic selling and give time for emergency action to take place by the feds (right or wrongly). As far as short selling and regulations, you def. need to make sure the market isn't being manipulated by those who are shady short sellers who are out there.
My question, why did the market go up friday...bailout or no bailout?
