How to boom the stock market, China style

[fullyautomatix]

Chinese shares up 4.5% as momentum spreads - BBC News

1) Anybody with more than 5% stake cannot sell.
2) Cannot trade in more than 50% of the companies since they have stopped trading ( to preserve prices)
3) Ban on shorting
4) Billions poured into the stock market by big finance companies to shore up prices.


Unbelievable. When the market went up 150% nobody bothered. Now they want to artificially keep it up.

They're just doing what other countries have been doing, albeit to a more extreme extent. Welcome to the new new normal.

Papering over from crisis to crisis, to put off and worsen the eventual pain in the hopes it'll all just go away.

The scale of this is pretty bad and it looks like all the usual parties are trying to talk it down.
