We, the US investing public, need the ability to "short" stock market indices, equity sectors, currencies & commodities, just as the institutions do, to hedge our portfolios and protect the downside in our investment accounts. To not be able to do so would punish the "little guy" and provide all the benefit to the big institutions. We individual investors are acutely
