Petition update, 24 November 2008

More details from petition creator

In order to preserve the integrity of the Stock Exchange and the financial systems we all rely upon, make it illegal to short sell stock exchange securities - that is the practice where shares are borrowed from long term holders, sold and then rebought at a lower price, thereby maintaining the number of shares held but a profit is booked. Such trading, whether on the back of rumours or not, manipulates the market to the detriment of almost everyone else.
