  1. Fantastic - I had never previously known the importance of short selling in price discovery. Simply put, if short selling is not possible or not allowed, then the market price is only getting half the information. I still need to think about the ethics and incentives of short selling though.

  2. Good instructor. Agree, we should use economic tools to solve economic problems and political tools to solve political problems. It seems we sometimes get mixed up and try to use economic tools to solve political problems and vice-versa. Agreed, it is not as simple as letting big institutions and countries fail, because someone else, who may be politically motivated, will step in to bail out if you do not.
