Short-sellers heyday during the crash.

Short sellers are a major cause of market downturns, such as the crash in 1987 and the crash of August 2011.It's a premptive smear campaign being deliberately done to drive down the whole financial market just because of differences in ratings opinion of late.
The man in the street at the epicentre of the manipulators will be hurt more painfully than others who only feel the ripples.
The short-selling bans enacted in several European countries as a remedy for extreme volatility is also a good move temprarily.Short sellers will argue that they are here to boost liquidity and price movement otherwise market will be stagnant.This is also logical only if they do it in a transparent manner.
Joining in the shortselling ban is Turkey with intended move to curb short sales and threatened “severe penalties” for stock manipulation, joining nations from Greece to South Korea in trying to stem bearish bets after the worst tumble in global shares since 2008.
Shorting a stock is roughly the opposite to buying it. Technically you’re selling a security you don’t own and then waiting for it to fall so you can buy it back at a lower price, pocketing the difference.
Shorting shares is not, generally, a widespread activity amongst investors. There are multiple reasons for this. Many institutional investors aren’t allowed to short stocks due to their remit, most individual investors don’t short due to behavioural issues and fears of unlimited losses.
Instead of banning short-selling regulators ought to be focusing on what measures they could take to make it more popular.
