SEC charges traders for 'naked' short violations
By Ronald D. Orol
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday took its first enforcement action for violations of the agency's rules seeking to prevent naked short selling, an abuse considered a key contributor to the financial crisis. The agency charged two options traders, Hazen Capital Management LLC and TJM Proprietary Trading LLC, and their broker-dealers for the violations. Naked short selling is the practice of selling a stock short without first borrowing the security or ensuring that the security can be borrowed as is done in a conventional short sale. The firms and individuals agreed to settle the agency's charges without admitting or denying the findings.
