Too bad, man. The short-selling ban though necessary is as bad as the bailout. The one stock i couldn't get to in time on Friday, BBT- down 9.45 or 23.36% (of course, I can't short that stock, I just wanted to sell it.) Thats the stuff billionaires are made of not to mention the following:

As of the close, SEPTEMBER 29th

DJIA -777.68, or 6.98 percent
S&P 500 -106.85, or 8.81 percent
NSDQ -199.61, or 9.14 percent
RUSS2k -47.07, or 6.68 percent

Oil down over 10, almost 10 percent

And the cure-your-woes Gold, up over 23. Fucking Gold.
