Don't be short with me! SEC places temporary ban on short-selling
#1
For financial stocks, anyway.

European markets are up. Asian markets had a big day. US stock futures are up.

Crises over!

In related news, senator McCain says:

Speaking at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Mr. McCain said, “If I were president today, I would fire him.”

Referring to SEC chairman Christopher Cox. Apparently, McCain is not aware that the President doesn't have that authority.

Obama says:

"Don't just get rid of one guy," Mr. Obama said at a rally in Espanola. "Get rid of this administration. Get rid of this philosophy. Get rid of the do-nothing approach to our economic problem and put somebody in there who's going to fight for you."
