Your Questions About... Short-Selling, RBS

Time to sort through our in-box and answer more of your questions.

Leslie from New Jersey

Leslie writes, “Will Wednesday’s repeal of the short sale ban cause additional havoc among the beaten financials?

We don’t know they won’t extend it, replies Pete Najarian. But I’d prefer to see the return of the up-tick rule which is “a rule established by the SEC that requires that every short sale transaction be entered at a price that is higher than the price of the previous trade.”

Alexander from Missouri

Alexander writes, “I just bought shares of Royal Bank of Scotland [RBS  Loading...      ()   ]. Good or bad idea? I think it’s a big risk but I’m also thinking a possible big return.

You’re playing for a takeover, replies Joe Terranova. I think it’s the equivalent of buying Washington Mutual in Scotland.
