The governments already have control over enough. Regulations increased significantly since covid.
An as I said, when an opportunity arises people will take or try to exploit it. If you put in place regulation, people will simply try to find ways around it. Seems like a huge cost to the tax payer, more red tape and a massive waste of time. Tax it make some money and let it go.

I am definitely of the opinion a free market will operate more effectively than a heavily regulated one.

Your also incorrect on The Analysts comment. I agree with what he has said.

Shorters only target what they are more than certain 50% will drop in price. So not all banks would be a target. You would have to deep dive into the banks P&L, Balance sheet and other various data to determine weak ones from strong ones. They would likely only short ones they believe to be weak. An from that standpoint, its survival of the fittest. Worst case a strong bank gets shorted, the stock price goes up and the short loses money. So I fail to see how that isnt just a bad pick and needs regulation.
