• Technology that allows trader anonymity without consequence. Short sellers, like
private hedge funds do not have to disclose their negative bets, whereas mutual
funds and most institutions are required to publicly report their holdings.
• Brokerage firm procedures that make it easy for short sellers to borrow stock
without informing the shareowner of the transaction or potential consequences.
• Internet forums and message boards that allow traders to quickly publish negative
comments about a company, thus forcing down prices.
• The repeal of the uptick rule, which had required traders to only short when it
wouldn’t hurt a company’s stock price, and now allows shorting regardless of the
company’s current stock price direction, enabling “piling on” trading.
