MacSusan	posted Can anyone explain to me what a short sale restriction is? I know it would be a restriction against shorting but why is it implimented and does it have any affect on share price? How does a company get a restriction? Thanks S.
VNGNTN1	posted I think this means you can only a long position. This is a probably a market maker thing. [This message has been edited by VNGNTN1 (edited November 20, 2003).]
breakout	posted Not sure MacSusan, but I'm sure a search of the SEC pages would probably help. Have you seen this article that touches on short selling and the proposed rules ? www.our-street.com/RegSHO.htm Good luck !!! ------------------ "...
