"The ban on the short sales is what's having the immediate impact on the market. That should calm the market down," Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist at Windham Financial Services in Charlotte, Vt., told Reuters. "Anybody who has been shorting these financial stocks is going to get burnt in here. What authorities are trying to do is just buy enough time for the market to settle down and for the details of the Paulson plan to be understood, how long it would take to implement and what it means for the banks."
