Kind of like Barack is doing with our money?

Real short selling is impossible to introduce as it would require prediction lending between participants http://www.hubdub.com/e/Topic/Allow_NOT_boxes_to_be_voted_on_in_responses_103

What might be possible is to introduce an automatic function to bet against one of the options (currently you would have to do it manually)
