Yep your right sorry, but clearly Merkel lacks confidence in financial stability of German financial companies.

isn't that potentially a contradiction of terms? An oxymoron? That would be just like the Germans -

I believe we should see 1.2100 in 2 days, perhaps even lower.

I got really scared when I saw the words "Merkel" and "naked" in the same sentence.

She's right to do it. Naked short selling is counterfeiting.

She doesn't want Deutsche bank to be naked shorted the way Bear Stearns has.

Have to look @ the liborspreads etc.. its harder for banks to get money... US banks don't trust the European banks no more.. European banks are in big trouble.. Why do you think that germany banned short selling on german banks?? Because they are in big trouble..

 just like in 2007 when u.s. fed was spoon feeding ez with cheap dollars to prop euro up. they have started to do it again just a few weeks back. but dow was at 14k then... u.s. banks were willing to lend. but its different this time. we are not at 14k.. u.s. banks are weaker now. ez is weaker now. and ez banks are much weaker.. one bad day could be all it takes. all 16 countries banks are guaranteed by the country. all 16 countries are guaranteed by the ezu.. Germany may just say phuck it.. they are the backer of 15 other weak countries. dont forget the neighbored the swiss and uk are in bad shape.. it would not take but a single bad day to get the ball rolling.
i agree 100%

those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Agreed. Wasn't there a petition in the US a few years ago to ban it there too?

In a short sale, you borrow the security, sell it so you can buy it back at a lower price. If it goes down, you're laughing. If it goes up, you just lost your kid's college fund while jerking off on the john.

In a naked short sale, you don't borrow jack. Say XYZ Inc has an IPO and they have 10 million shares out on the market. That's the float, that's what's out there. A naked short sale would allow you to sell 11 million shares, 15 million shares, 20 million, 100 million. Pick your number! The more you sell, the further the down move.
