short funds risk?

    Posted by kreem on 19th of Sep 2008 at 03:35 pm

    Anyone know if  are there any risky implications to owning short funds at all? - eg if they ban shorting which I read supposedly happened this morning, is there any risk the market for them drops away with unforseen consequences? I just got an IB warning on something like this. After the difficulty filling them this morning it has me concerned even though I'm inclined to stay bearish.

    I am by far no

    I am by far no expert, but if the ban SHORT selling altogether, they may as well close the stock market so it won;t matter anyway.
