Short Selling Do the new ban on short selling apply to individuals and Index#039;s forex too? -

The FSA in London and the SEC in USA have banned sort selling. Does this apply to the index s forex end eminis too and does it also apply to small investors? Do you think this move will help the markets? or is it a knee jerk reaction for a scapegoat for weak markets? and bad government policy s? What do you think? the type of investor is irrelevant - it would be the types of investments that are banned from being sold short - I haven t read the details yet, but definitely stocks are banned you bet ye.
