    So How does it work for current short positions?

    If they all have to be closed on Monday wouldn't that cause a short covering rally?

    This is what I read last night on the US situation.

    By Howard Schneider: The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced a two-week ban on short-selling of the stocks of 799 financial companies as federal officials continued ramping up efforts to stabilize the global financial system.

    "A two-week ban on short-selling" ONLY?

    Then-> "quick everbody"-> "close your longs and go short!"

    Crazy!
