    My answer to the question: Joe Public decides to flood into short selling funds, double short funds, and especially double short financial funds at the open because hey, obviously the market is going down when the shorting is allowed again right?

    Short squeeze results, main street whines because the market isn't fair, hedge funds laugh because they've been accumulating longs on the drops.

    You know it. It's right around the corner. I refuse to sell anything during this bottom forming process. And if I had more money I'd be buying my heart out - but for now I'm sitting tight. Perhaps I'll get a runner I can liquidate as a sacrifice to buy the dullards. But this is an excellent time to throw money down the well and hope the bottom is close. I have a few stocks that are takeovers and once those prices recover I'll jettison them for more housing related triumphs. This will be a bottom to remember - and perhaps we get a big push tomorrow.
