I'm not subject to Reg SHO, so it's not a violation for me.

Our markets are actually in pretty good shape, especially considering where we were three short years ago. This country underwent one of the most severe asset bubble collapses in its history. In early 2009, everything looked bleak. Some people were convinced that our banking sector was hopelessly and irretrievably lost. We're obviously not back to our pre-bubble levels, but the whole finance sector is in recovery mode now.

Our markets are a self-correcting mechanism. It was inevitable that the excesses in the real estate sector from 2004ish through 2007 were going to need to be wrung out at some point. The markets might not turn on a dime, and if you're an investor you have to have a certain amount of patience and intestinal fortitude to make it through a period like 2008-2009. But if you understand finance and invest responsibly, the "system" will handsomely reward you.
