CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Ainda lá não chegaram, caminham para lá devagar, mas ainda lá não chegaram...talvez daqui a cem ou duzentos mil anos, com a evolução da espécie, os humanos percebam que explorar o mal dos outros para ganhar dinheiro é um erro...grave. Como explorar um continente, deixando-o a morrer de fome e sede, para os outros viverem um pouco melhor é um erro...grave.

As proporções do drama são diferentes, a essência da atitude é a mesma.

...apos a longa ausencia da devida intervencao e supervisao.

Agora estas decisoes veem ajudar mas, tambem, assustar. Aguentem.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Britain's Financial Services Authority on Thursday banned short-selling of financial stocks and prohibited any increase in new bearish positions in the sector. Also, disclosure will be required on all positions of more than 0.25% of a stock. The regulator said it may extend the bank to other sectors. The ban is due to remain in force until Jan. 16, but it will be reviewed in 30 days. "While we still regard short-selling as a legitimate investment technique in normal market conditions, the current extreme circumstances have given rise to disorderly markets. As a result, we have taken this decisive action, after careful consideration, to protect the fundamental integrity and quality of markets and to guard against further instability in the financial sector," said Hector Sants, chief executive of the FSA.
