SEC Extends Ban on Short Selling

(hide summary▲)

Under the SEC's new emergency rules, (quite different from the agency's old emergency rules) none of the 799 financial stocks on its uncarefully screened list can be sold short. That's the bad news. The good news is that all 799 stocks are still solvent, allegedly. The SEC's emergency order barring short sales will expire Oct. 2 unless its commissioners vote to extend the rule.

Will the SEC extend its ban on the short selling of 799 financial stocks past October 2nd?
