Maybe I came off too hard, and lacking details didn't help either. My point is, this is a situation without precedent, unlikely to repeat very often, and not all private industry is being nationalised. Same goes for banning short sales. It won't last forever.

That is why I think you oversimplified. This is not a communist takeover of France.

Note: I did not, and wouldn't have downvoted you for your comment. Yours is a fair opinion to have.
