Naked Short Selling
Naked Short SellingThe sale of shares one has neither borrowed nor made arrangements to borrow. Under Regulation SHO, investors engaging in naked shorting much abide by a "locate" requirement and a "close-out" requirement. The locate requirement forces brokers to have reasonable grounds to believe that the short-sold security can be borrowed; the broker must document this prior to the security's sale. With some exceptions, the close-out requirement means that brokers who have failed to deliver a short-sold security for 13 days must purchase similar securities and present those instead. Naked shorting is very high risk. |
