How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

So all the market's woes are due to short sellers and nothing to do with lending people 125% of over-valued houses to people who can't pay it back?

Originally posted by AtW View PostIt's not the same, but it is indeed very different operation from shorting - that involves selling shares which may affect market, where as spread betting doesn't. I suppose I'll let you off this one.
Spreadbetting does not involve selling of physical stock but you can be sure that the spreadbetting firms will nett off their exposure on the markets themselves so the effect on the markets is the same or very similar.Comment
