No shorting of financials allowed: who monitors this?

Discussion in 'Wall St. News' started by Option Trader, Sep 25, 2008.

  1. The following data came out regarding DRL, which is what I suspected. During the time the shorting was forbidden of financials, including DRL, the DRL short position increased by 320,000 shares, http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxcontent/shortinterests.aspx?symbol=DRL&selected=DRL which is double the average daily volume of 147,158.

    What do you all have to say about that?

  3. I think he's reading the data wrong.

    The short ban would have to be the exact 15 days of the timeframe of the short interest reporting to be accurate.
