I guess the regulators where busy issuing speeding tickets when the long/short 101 course was being run. They'll eventually figure out that it's possible to profit from both rises and falls in a security and perhaps in turn even out ticket ratio. The only reasonable explanation for issuing more tickets for rises than falls is if the number of sharp rises was greater than sharp falls. I highly doubt this is the case. It would be interesting to do some correlation work here.
