What the petition doesn't do... 1. It does not permanently end short selling. 2. It does not prevent individuals from exposing overvalued, poorly managed or fraudulent stock scams. 3. It will not hinder honest individuals from profiting from their discovery of a company fitting the scenarios described in #2. 4. It does not isolate the American markets. 5. It will not encourage rampant Pump & Dump scams. 6. It will not unbalance the markets. 7. It will not cause the markets to suddenly become bullish. 8. It will not help "unworthy comapanies" to survive. 9. It will not prevent a recession. 10. It won't stop people from making bad investments and losing money in the market. The Bird of Prey
