The story "Stocks Slump as Investors Run to Safety" contains
this paragraph:

"Responding to this pressure, the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed new rules on short selling, or betting on falling share prices, and even suggested that hedge funds and others might have to disclose short positions, a proposal that is likely to meet stiff resistance.

Of course it will meet resistance, as it may force hedge funds to reveal that they are violating no-shorting provisions in their contracts with their clients.
