I and many,many other investors, large and small have lost our savings
of a lifetime. As long as the present rules on short sales remain the
same things will not change. A few hedge funds are reaping huge fortunes
while destroying people like me.  Why does the SEC not place a
moritourim on short sales unless they adhere to the same rules that are
placed on the small investor?
