For your information:

90 days after the "Uptick Rule" was removed by the SEC, the world equity markets began their crash.

Until the "Uptick Rule" is replaced in major markets and enforced in Canada as well as elsewhere, no rally from whatever level can have the legs of the 1930 rally.

Abe Lincoln is quoted below. The following is quite applicable today and to any possible rally from a barfed equity low.

"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes."
-–Abraham Lincoln
