Let's clear some of the air about MMs. Part 2
A MM must sell short to make market, when they have no shares in inventory or don't have a matched seller. The problem with "naked shorting," is not so much the MMs themselves, as they are often required by regs to do so.

The real problem with naked shorting is the lack of resolution via the DTC. If the DTC and especially the SEC did their duties, there wouldn't be a problem.

"When in doubt, empty the clip."
