NYSE Expands Short Selling Ban to 30 Additional Companies

by Calculated Risk on 9/22/2008 09:29:00 AM

From the NYSE:

The SEC has delegated to each national securities exchange the authority to identify additional listed companies that qualify for inclusion in the list of companies covered by the revised prohibition.
...
According to the SEC, companies that were on the original list attached to Friday’s Order, or that fall into one of the categories expected to be covered by the new order, may opt out of the application of the revised short sale prohibition by informing the NYSE of that determination.
I'm still waiting for a company to opt out!
