D. Are short sales legal?

Although the vast majority of short sales are legal, abusive short sale practices are illegal. For example, it is prohibited for any person to engage in a series of transactions in order to create actual or apparent active trading in a security or to depress the price of a security for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of the security by others. Thus, short sales effected to manipulate the price of a stock are prohibited.

How does someone define abusive? because that is why TALK is moving down...

Nothing I state is intended to be a recommendation to buy or sell, opinion only. Readers are solely responsible for how they use the information.
