What about in the United States?

Abusive short selling has also been a hot topic in American financial markets. The SEC issued new rules that ban the practice they call “naked short selling.” Naked short sellers don’t borrow the stock before selling it, allowing them to push the price far lower. Wall Street has started to refer to the practice as a bear raid, which creates download price pressure that analysts say don’t match up to the company’s economic fundamentals. An emergency ban on short selling happened earlier this summer, but after the ban ended it started up again. With increased scrutiny from other markets like Canada, short sellers may need to devise new plans to make money than betting against companies.
