Bearing in mind that the above have explained short-selling, margin calls and contract exchange, I thought I'd just mention that this film did actually lead to a change in the US law on insider trading, namely the Transparency and Accountability Act under the Dodd-Frank reform to stop people making money from information stolen from the US Government.
Betcha didn't know THAT yesterday...

You couldn't stop it on commodity futures, but makes sense on stocks.

I think they've stopped short selling cos the markets are fucked and the traders are making easy money by going short. It's only a temporary measure AFAIK.
