[RT] Re: More on Futures on stock

It is hard for me to believe that this is getting as far as it is as
fast as it is. Not only are there 4 regulatory hurdles:

Margin rules
Selling on an uptick
Identifying borrowable stock
Insider trading

But I would have expected the securities industry to nip this in the
bud.

But then I would have expected them to nip the ECNs in the bud too, and
they didn't.

Still, I would be frightened of a cash-settled future on an individual
stock.
