One of the biggest problem with short selling

One of the biggest PLUSSES of Short Selling is
ACTUAL money and "juice" to position against the PUMP.

IF you are Long you have to LOVE the implied demand.

Simple solution to the short selling problem..

A new SEC rule that forbids shorting below the prior day's close..

Longs can get out before shorts.. Stops a downward cascade by shorts..

The new rally cry of investors should be that "we don't need no stinking short sellers!"

Or, alternatively, "we don't need no captured regulatory authorities". Lack of enforcement of fails to deliver, front-running of buyers' orders, naked shorting without located shares, and algo-driven trading are making true value irrelevant.

Months later, it's still not clear exactly what they did (something involving colluding to make prices move in their favor?), but the investigation has expanded to cover more than 30 firms, some of which aren't even activist hedge funds.
