The ban on short positions

there was a market crush today in New York Stock Exchange, due to the failture of vote on bailout legislation by the US government, then, the crush affects confidences in Tokyo Stock Exchange.

However, the most important cause of the biggest crush in the history is the ban on short positions which is employed last week, to hold the share prices high. The crush is not because of disappointment of disapproval of the bailout plan.

because the Bush administration made the share prices high by banning short positions, the crush happened in a day, not in a week. It was strange that investors gained their confidence in this financial turbirance, last week. The stock price should not have recovered last week.


On the other hand, Japanese govenment has not prohibited the short positions, so the share prices in Tokyo Stock Exchange must have evaluated accurately. There is no reason that share price in TSE would fail as much as fails in NYSE.

Somehow, Japanese investors lost their confidence too much and the share prices tend to be undervalued in Japan.... how come?


Anyway, the ban on short positions in the US is one of the mistakes adopted by the Bush administration, along with the War on Terror, over deregulations and so on.
