Cramer wanted these companies to announce just how much money they make in the absence of short-selling rules.
The uptick rule, which was repealed by present SEC Chairman Christopher Cox, required a stock to “tick up” in price before it could be sold short.
The Mad Money host also said that while it’s easy to say this rule doesn’t matter, the speed at which Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and other major banks have been driven out of business is proof to him that protections against bear raids are needed.
The uptick rule offers the investors a chance to “catch their breath,” and at the same time gives buyers an entry point.
“We’re in a bear market,” Cramer said. “Let’s just try to figure out what worked for the last 70 years and reinstate it.”
