The forced resolution will be to force the shorts to cover. Screwing people that took the other side of the trade because the short sellers screwed up doesn't really make any sense to me.
- pvarangot 6y agoAlso the short-sellers are not being fooled into taking risks and neither are the call buyers. Everyone should know what they are doing.
- girvo 6y agoThough regulatory bodies “picking a winner” can happen, as unfair as it sounds. I would hope they wouldn’t in this situation though.
- kart23 6y agoyes, the resolution would entail that. its not about screwing people, its about fixing something thats broken. Isn't that what happened in 2008? Banks made stupid decisions, and government bailed them out for it. Obviously more complicated and probably higher stakes, but the crisis essentially boils down to that. Don't see why it can't happen here.
