SEC Naked Short List

On July 15, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission came out with an emergency order which said that effective July 21, no short selling may take place in any of the following stocks unless the trader "borrowed or arranged to borrow the security or otherwise has the security that is being shorted available to borrow in its inventory prior to effecting such short sale and delivers the security on settlement date". In other words, strictly enforcing the "no naked short sale" rule.
