Short Selling: The Free Speech of Wall Street

Chuck and Wpdragon, I suppose the 400 point swings are not due to naked shorting by hedge funds.

So quit complaining about the SEC actually following the rules. And as for free speech, ask the poor protestors at the Democratic and Republican conventions if they got free speech or a police baton. (just to make a point). We have restrictions on rights just like their are restictions on trading.

So ask yourselfs these questions?
So how many naked shorts are there?
Can the person who shorted the stock cover if the trade goes wrong?
How much credit has been provided by shorting and what is the risk to the market?
