European regulators moved to rein in short-selling, ordering hedge funds and other traders to disclose more information when they bet that stocks will decline and signaling that more restrictions could come soon.

Traders must inform regulators when their net-short positions account for at least 0.1% of a company’s share capital, down from 0.2%, according to the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority. The change, which goes into effect after markets close Monday, is being made to give regulators to more information to help with oversight.

Friends a teacher, google classroom being prepared for this Friday to flatten the peak that is coming like a train

[leedskier] 17/3/2020 19:43

Is this the story you refer to?

Think its time for us as people to pull together

[delphiman] 17/3/2020 17:32

not seen it yet, but I like the way they give a loan,
you still have to pay it back and feel, the pain
I think since they are asking for things to close then perhaps they should give them it.
I would not mind having a little bit of weight added to my tax for a year to stop everyone from been made redundant or going bust or whatever.

Smurfy, markets might be smiling tomorrow nonetheless

joe king1,

Not seen the details but I'd imagine another form of Quantitative Easing. It's certainly significant not far off the 2009 QE.

joe king1

to you I am a boring old codger

And I've years of wisdom to go with it.
I was once where you where thought I knew everything and each year later I realised I knew more but then again I thought I knew everything, it was quite a few years before I realise that from year to year, the only knowledge I was gaining was work related as it changed.

I forgive you for been like that as we all where once.

330bn some for business LOANS for 3 months. How do businesses pay that back?

There are less holes in a sieve

[delphiman] 17/3/2020 17:19

I found it here

[delphiman] 17/3/2020 17:18

Heapos
yes I got out on a bounce just like this, and then it went south again, common sense should have told me its not over yet look look at the news but the share movement taints your thinking.
this is what I mean about thinking more clearly when you have nothing at stake.

but if you bought there you still will be ok in the log run unless its a spread bet or a cfd etc, if its a normal share then if it goes down more buy the same amount again and average your holdings down.

over time you will be just fine but I know the feeling of catching it just right Ive done it a few times where my trade has been bang on the tip to the point that not all of it was filled before it changed direction, if makes you feel like you could not have done any better.

but I look at the news and the shops and now im working from home, my holiday was cancelled the cinemas ae shut pubs are closing restaurants are closing, companies closing there telephone because two many people are asking for refunds.

its a good job Thomas Cook did go bust and not lend anymore as they would have definitely have gone now with even more debt.

[joe king1] 17/3/2020 17:17

330bn, where's he found that
