Washington, D.C., Feb. 24, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted a new rule to place certain restrictions on short selling when a stock is experiencing significant downward price pressure. The measure is intended to promote market stability and preserve investor confidence.
This alternative uptick rule is designed to restrict short selling from further driving down the price of a stock that has dropped more than 10 percent in one day. It will enable long sellers to stand in the front of the line and sell their shares before any short sellers once the circuit breaker is triggered.

So, we all should've bought FAS in February.
LOL!
The gov't can't help people who've lost their homes, keep 'em.
The gov't can't help the people who've lost their jobs, find new ones.
The gov't can't bring manufacturing back to America.
But the gov't sure can keep the stock market propped up!
A little rap music for ya'.
Sing it, piggy!

If not ... watch this ...
Click parts 1 and 2 ... only 10 minutes each.
I realize you're in Canada, but there are no "free" markets.
This is a gov't subsidized bull market ... compliments of Goldman Sachs, Bernanke, Geithner, Obama et. al

Everybody's doing what we're doing!
You can either work for the US gov't, or BE in the stock market.
