Anybody remember the post about the rules changing for shorts? Was that to go into effect today?

It was a rumor on the Naderboard. Possibly new rules are coming tomorrow which could mean some would have to end their short positions today. I have no idea if there is any legitimacy to the rumor.

[1] On October 22, 2020, Commission staff issued a no-action letter regarding the broker-dealer customer protection rule, Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3, in relation to certain fully-paid lending programs operated by some broker-dealers.[2] Rule 15c3-3(b)(3) requires broker-dealers entering into agreements with their customers who lend the broker-dealers fully-paid or excess margin securities to provide the securities lenders with collateral that fully secures the loans.[3] Staff’s letter stated that the staff would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission regarding these programs for six months from issuance of the letter, or until April 22, 2021, to give firms time to come into compliance with the Rule.[4]
