companies in the SEC's order have been rising since the commission announced last week that it would shelter them from the practice, known as naked short selling, while organizations representing banks and investment firms excluded from the list have been pressing to have the protection extended to them…. In naked short selling, the seller doesn't actually borrow the security but conducts the rest of the transaction as if he had. Since the seller is not constrained by the number of available shares, he can sell an unlimited number of securities that may not even exist. In large volumes, naked short selling can depress a company's stock by creating sustained downward pressure and ultimately destroy it, driving down the price until it is worthless, critics say. The SEC's order, issued last Tuesday, provides further protection against abusive naked short selling -- which was already barred by securities law with only a few exceptions -- to 19 companies, including mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and leading Wall Street investment banks Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, among others… The ABA, which represents 8,500 banks, last week wrote a letter to SEC Chairman Christopher Cox expressing fear that naked short sellers would turn their attention to the banks and bank holding companies not on the list. The Financial Services Roundtable, which represents 100 of the largest financial services companies in the country, sent a similar letter… Naked and abusive short selling are not new. Robert J. Shapiro, a former undersecretary of commerce for economic affairs, testified before the SEC's rules committee in 2003 about the then-growing problem. He noted that one form of manipulative short selling that was widespread in the 1990s, called death-spiral financing, created "strong incentives for large-scale naked short sales focused on small and medium-size public companies." His research found that a sample of 200 companies victimized by the technique posted a combined market loss of more than $ 105 billion. Shapiro, who is chairman of Sonecon, a District economic advisory firm, said in an interview yesterday that the troubled financial market had made it possible for naked short sellers to affect much larger companies than before, including the major firms covered by the SEC order. "Finally, the real concern has arisen because the target of it is a financial institution whose failure could pose a systemic risk to the capital markets," Shapiro said. "That's why they're concerned. But the phenomenon has been around in significant scale, and cost thousands, maybe millions, of investors money, who have been in stocks that have been driven down by naked short sellers for years now."

3828:"The classic "pump and dump" scheme, in which a stock is inflated through false information and then dumped on unsuspecting investors when the perpetrators flee, is one example of how this works. "Distort and short" is the same thing in reverse. "Naked" short selling can turbocharge these "distort and short" schemes. ... For this reason, naked shorting can allow manipulators to force prices down far lower than would be possible in legitimate short-selling conditions....Last week, in close consultation with the Treasury and the Fed, the SEC issued an order to further the objective of existing commission rules that restrict naked short selling...Illegitimate naked short selling is different. In the context of a potential "distort and short" campaign aimed at an otherwise sound financial institution, this kind of manipulative activity can have drastic consequences….Eliminating the prospect of naked short selling will help assure investors that it is safe for them to participate, and that when the market declines it is not because of unseen manipulators and "distort and short" artists....When the SEC announced this order, I also made clear my intention to ask the full commission to apply operational protections against abusive naked shorting to the broader market....Although the Commission's order was issued under emergency authority in unusual market conditions, it is based on several years of experience and analysis...But Regulation SHO also offers an alternative to these requirements if the broker has "reasonable grounds" to believe that the security can be borrowed. This could create opportunities for evasion of the rule's purpose....We are also exploring other remedies to "distort and short" and naked short-selling abuses, such as the reporting of substantial short positions (akin to the long-standing requirement to disclose significant long positions). All of this comes on the heels of the agency's recent elimination of other exceptions to Regulation SHO, and our March proposal of a new antifraud rule targeting naked short selling....Abusive naked short selling is far different from ordinary short selling, which is a healthy and necessary part of a free market. Manipulative naked short selling is one worry investors shouldn't have." 3759:

flee, is one example of how this works. "Distort and short" is the same thing in reverse. Naked short selling can turbocharge these "distort and short" schemes. In a naked short, the usual process of short selling is circumvented, because the seller doesn't actually borrow the stock and simply fails to deliver it… It allows manipulators to force prices down without regard to supply and demand. Next week, the SEC will implement an emergency order designed to prevent naked short selling in the financial firms that the Federal Reserve Board has designated as eligible for access to its liquidity facilities… At the same time, eliminating the prospect of naked short selling will help assure investors that it is safe for them to participate, and that the current declining market is not the product of unseen manipulators and "distort and short" artists... The abusive practice of naked short selling is far different from ordinary short selling…But when someone fails to borrow and deliver the securities needed to make good on a short position, after failing even to determine that they can be borrowed, that is not contributing to an orderly market — it is undermining it. And in the context of a potential "distort and short" campaign aimed at an otherwise sound financial institution, this kind of manipulative activity can have drastic consequences….Naked short selling can undermine the market's integrity. For the financial sector in this crisis, certainly, but as soon as possible for the entire market, this is one worry investors shouldn't have.

section will be published by US C of C, but until then you are in the right. Perhaps this could have been explained to the original editor in the quote removal edit to explain, they probably felt the removal was unjust, probably not realizing the link was in limbo. Also, I am wondering what the difference is here between a quote from a videocast that could be attained by request from a RS, vs one from a published book that also can not be instantly verified by 2 clicks of a mouse. I don't think there's a good answer to that, but at least a book can be eventually verified for a quote, while a webcast that's waiting for a government site admin to provide an archive link from a live cast will have to wait. I hope you can understand why I reverted your deletion of the quote and source, as it was there when I watched it live myself, so I agreed with the original editor's inclusion of it. But I'm no WP:RS, and I didn't reverify the link was still live when I edited. Thanks,Iw'l be wary of verifying recent webcasts links as sources. Interesting questions these modern times raise when it comes to using the web as source, as dynamic as it is. If editors find this video later archived and available to wikipedia readers, or the contents used in another WP:RS, the quote should be restored or at least key parts of it.

pebbles from one side of the scale were also strewn through the rest of the article, creating a mishmash that was, if nothing else, repetitive (literally, whole sections were repeated). I kept all the pebbles from each side of the scale, so no one could say I was adding or subtracting from either argument. However, I rearranged the sections this way: a description of the issue and the evolution of the regulations which govern it; a section on the controversy, preserving all the NSS-apologist lines but bringing them together into one place (you can see some of the duplicate paragraphs), and nothing added from the NSS-critical side; then a section on the issue vis-a-vis the courts (with all material about enforcement and litigation preserved). If it is the case, as it may appear, that a NPOV is a difficult thing on which to agree when it comes to this subject, then the closest thing would be an article that presents the clashing points of view neutrally. I cannot see how someone could in good faith deny that this structure makes for an article that presents the various points of view most neutrally.

1419:

running a "Smear campaign" against its critics (would you like to see the quote of yours?}. I don't know how that could allow you to claim any NPOV. And your editing partner Mantanmoreland is on record on wikipedia as saying "Patrick Byrne hates Knowledge (XXG)" (would you like to see the edit on that? It's hilarious). The only reason I haven't escalated your behavior on all things Byrne is that no one besides you and Mantanmoreland really give a damn. And you two really really give a damn. Why is that? It would be interesting to pull a "sparkzilla" on this (as wikipedians of great repute have recently endorsed an on-WP COI outing). Mantanmoreland has claimed on his user page that he has "professional interests" in these topics, and you have shown extensive knowledge of 1980's era Chicago Exch. history. I really doubt you want to pursue the POV and COI angles on these issues bilaterally. I could be wrong.

everyone else). I have so many problems with the absurdity of the emergency order that I hardly know where to start. One thing the emergency order makes clear, however, is that "Naked short selling can turbocharge these 'distort and short' schemes.... It allows manipulators to force prices down without regard to supply and demand....The abusive practice of naked short selling is far different from ordinary short selling… But when someone that is not contributing to an orderly market — it is undermining it. And in the context of a potential 'distort and short' campaign aimed at an otherwise sound financial institution, this kind of manipulative activity can have drastic consequences…Naked short selling can undermine the market's integrity." And in that sense, yes, I think the Emergecny Order does vindicate those who have been arguing for years now that, well,

1235:. That said, I strongly disagree with your adding that lengthy excerpt from Regulation SHO. It clogs up an article that is already top heavy with jargon, and it is unnecessary detail. As for India, your edit of the article said as follows: "Naked short selling would not be permitted as per the recommendations by India's Secondary Market Advisory Committee. Investors in Indian stock markets will be required to deliver securities at the time of settlement." That gave the impression that this was certainty or had already been passed by the pertinent Indian authorities. The ambiguity in the language had to be removed and the article needs to be quoted accurately. The quote from the Sebi chairman, first name not given, was very hard to understand and was disjointed. -- 4135:. These allegations end up as the main claims of a published editorial by the SEC Chairman to IBD. That's vindication. Yes, we believe that these dynamics have led to a giant crime against Main Street by Wall Street. To argue, however, that this is not vindication simply because the corporations protected by the emergency order are themselves Wall Street banks, is intellectual gibberish. The fact that the protected parties are themselves Wall Street banks, is certainly one more great irony among many, but the main event is that Cox's letter states things we have been saying about NSS for many years, things which, incidentally, the Knowledge (XXG) page on NSS continues to downplay, dismiss, or deride. 1196:

described as correct according to the sources cited, but my edit was not "erroneous". It was a very short but accurate decription of the Times/AP article. I don't have a problem with your edit, but I do have a problem with you calling my edit "erroneous". It was not. Your additions to the section are well sourced and well done. But you're not doing wikipedia any favors by calling other's edits "erroneous" when sources show they are not. Incomplete? OK, editors should expand when they feel a statement does not fully charcterize the situation. Encyclopedias are by nature too brief and subject to the same limitations as headlines. Thank you for ensuring that this one is not too brief. Have a good day.

3995:"2. ... I think it desirable that you desist from commenting on this talk page on the subject of naked short selling in an effort to slant its contents in your favor." It may be desirable to you for it to remain slanted (as I have shown above), but it is desirable to me to expose the slant by posting links to articles and TV clips on this talk page. You may try to run me out on that grounds that the Washington Post, CNBC, Fox, etc. are BADSITES, or entartete kunst, or whatever your word for it is these days. See how many Wikipedians want to see that farce return, or want to see the Project be used in a cover-up (as my post on this talk page amply demonstrates). So go ahead, make my day. 1934:

think short selling is a problem) implies (as I see it) that Patrick Byrne is irrational. While I'm sure he might be, and the sentence is referenced, it is still the author's opinion. It might be relevant on Byrne's page as a description of his character but I'm not convinced it is necessary on an article about a stock market issue. If it, as John Nevard suggests, "shows the great deal of concern some people have about these issues", then why not just say "Short selling is an emotive issue among some people, who often get into heated arguments"? I still don't think it's necessary, even in that form, as you could find someone who gets worked up to the point of swearing on any issue.

about going back to my original inclusion, and searching the linked Reg SHO Q&A site? It's there. My summary is a best shot at cliffs notesing it. I also am puzzled why you didn't previously apply the same approach to the earlier section that had 4 long exact quote paragraphs on the SEC's opinion on how to value stocks, which has nothing to do with explaining naked short selling. Also the ncans.net sourced NASAA document is not only poorly summarized, it's technically WP:OR as that is not a WP:RS site. I can see that this article has suffered from selective application of WP rules. Let's all work together to improve it and hold the patronizing applause rhetoric.

of the interlocutory motion. That is something you have done repeatedly, when you are not removing material you view as unfavorable to Overstock and its CEO, or pursuing your personal hatred of journalists who have reported on Overstock and its CEO. Your agenda, as in the past, has been to exaggerate everything favorable to Overstock.com and to minimize everything negative, and you pursue that agenda aggressively, through a pattern of personally attacking Talk page comments. The fact that your comments and behavior have been aggressive and attacking from Day One has been noted in the past by other users. So let's stop the kidding. --

these shares to resolve fail-to-delivers, depositing cash in bank accounts held by the lender as collateral. At a later stage in settlement the loan is returned, and capital removed from the lender's account and he keeps the interest. While the shares are on loan the lender foregoes all normal ownership rights, which are temporarily assigned to the buyer until the transaction is properly settled. Unfortunately the shares most likely to result in a fail-to-deliver are those that are difficult to obtain, and thus less likely to be available in sufficient quantities via the Stock Borrow Program to satisfy settlement.

updated in 2006 October with information that is directly pertinient to that section. I don't understand what game is being played here, I'm pretty sure it's an attempt to get me to violate a 3 revert rule while two editors continually remove a well sourced, as neutral as possible addition from the SEC itself clarifying the topic discussed here. I won't be bullied or intimidated by nonsensical excuses in a baiting attempt to be intimidated from editing here. Stop removing well sourced and applicable edits. If you can improve them, do so.

3924:'In February 2007, Overstock.com launched a $ 3.5 billion lawsuit against Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and other large Wall Street firms, alleging a "massive illegal stock market manipulation scheme" involving naked short selling. Among its allegations, Overstock stated that since at least January 2005, naked short selling has accounted for large portions of Overstock stock, in some cases exceding the 23.4 million total shares outstanding. The lawsuit alleged that this had created "immense downward pressure" on share prices over time.' 2765:

haven't been able to verify) that also means the seller could then simply buy new shares and deliver them directly to the buyer without ever having borrowed anything (and paid the fees, etc.). It's also what creates the situation where you can theoretically sell an unlimited number of shares to different parties, deliver them gradually, and then eventually just buy back from buyer A B and C to deliver to buyer X Y and Z (to over-simplify). Of course, others dispute that this happens or is harmful to the extent it does.

mirror each other suspiciously. A lot of the appearances of the term are in irrelevant contexts, i.e. "I would only work out in my cellar, boxing isn't a sport of mine...."

The lede now looks like an ad for a detergent. Also note that I did not make the article "less US-centric" (Tony's single argument to reinsert) as I moved the lede sentence into the relevant section. The number of sentences about India remained two. 3867:"A study of trading in initial public offerings by two SEC staff economists, published in April 2007, found that excessive numbers of fails to deliver were not correlated with naked short selling.

He's been pursuing lawsuits against the very banks his new ally, Christopher Cox, is protecting. Some alliance. Though both may be using phrases like "naked shorting can undermine the market's integrity" the "market" they have in mind is very different.

The only firms protected by the order are those who (via their prime brokerage operations) have been causing the problem all these years. So who is vindicating what?

eventually delivers, but if the company needs money at that moment, then they're out of luck. Thus, if you naked short enough stock of a company that needs capital, you could end up hurting the company itself in a way that makes the shares cheaper to "cover" (or in this case, buy outright, if I understand correctly). Other than the legality, I believe these are some of the main objections.

mean an agreement between the parties that this will take place. The general regulations, as I understand, are in turn that a seller has three days to transfer the stock ("deliver" it) after "selling." This is what creates the basic discrepancy where someone could "sell" a stock, quickly aquire it, and then deliver it, even though he didn't have it when he initially made the "sale."

On the plus side, I think it's also what's called "liquidity" in terms of allowing a short sale today even though the share can't be found until tomorrow.

I would disagree that the addition of “and then failing to deliver it to the buyer” is accurate in order to have a naked short sale of a security, however the addition is probably necessary because the current discussion among regulators and participants focuses upon the insidious 736:

you're trying to imply that Weiss is less notable than, say, Patrick Byrne or anybody else cited in the article.
