Las autoridades europeas están considerando una prohibición temporal de las posiciones cortas, según el New York Times. Recientemente, Grecia prohibió las posiciones cortas en de sus valores hasta octubre.
Pues mejor que no lo haga por que la última vez que se hizo todo se hundió ...
Por cierto, no te parece curioso que sea un medio norteamericano el que se haga eco...)
Following the NYT debacle in which it announced there was a debt deal when there was anything but (in the process however sending stocks surging on nothing but what was proven to be a lie), today it appears the NYT may have gone for the double, after first reporting earlier that Europe is about to proceed with a short-selling ban. As of minutes ago, Reuters has reported that a short-selling ban "does not look likely" according to a regulatory source. In other words we are back to the yes bailout/no bailout that marked the European days of June and July, when the leakers merely gauged the market response to determine if the rumor should become policy. It seems that after having achieved the sought after (brief) market bounce on forced short covering, Europe has decided not to go ahead and impose a ban after all... At least until tomorrow's next -5% plunge in Italian and French bank stocks.
From Reuters:
European Union states are unlikely to impose a blanket ban on short-selling of stocks in response to volatile trading in bank stocks, a regulatory source familiar with the situation told Reuters.
"A Europe-wide short-selling ban doesn't look likely," the source said on Thursday.
Earlier ESMA, the European Union's financial market regulator, said it was monitoring the bank share volatility closely and was in touch with national regulators.
There has been speculation that a bloc-wide ban could be imposed since Greece banned short-selling for a period of two months earlier this week.
And moments later Italy's market regulator CONSOB added that there is no change to its short selling policy. Which of course does not mean anything.
cualquier dia vemos un real decreto que dicta las cotizaciones, el santander 14 euros, el BBVA 16 euros, telefonica 20 euros, viva el mercado "libre"!!!...
pues peor para ellos si quieren que suba porque sin posiciones cortas que cerrar el rebote será mas dificil, si se cae por miedo porque no entra dinero no se encontrarán con el apoyo de las compras para cerrar las posiciones cortas, pueden reducir la volatilidad pero no la caida, a no ser que a todo el que tiene una cuenta de valores le obliguen a comprar acciones patrioticamente como ya ha planteado salgado para las empresas con los bonos...
