Futures Market

 Hasn't it been frozen by the government for the last 2 weeks?  When does it open again?  I have a feeling once the betters get their market back, they are going to tank the rest of the stock market.  Anyone have any thoughts, or am I off base?

Apparently I have no idea, sorry.  I thought that I had heard something about speculaters on the Tele last week, my bad.

 Short selling may be what he is talking about.

 That's what I meant, thanks. I am just trying to educate myself on the current economic situation.  Why did they suspend short selling, and what effect does it have on the economy?

They suspended short selling on certain stocks in a misguided attempt to prop up the stock market.
