In normal shorting the stock must be borrowed from the brokerage inventory and returned when the transaction is completed.

In a naked short the shares are never borrowed either because they are not available or they are phantom shares.

Naked shorting has destroyed many companies.

DO a search on the effect of naked shorting in the market.

I suggest looking up "textbook" definitions of investing terms.

Hey, Homebrew, could you define what you mean by a "naked short" for me. I think I understand it but is it any different than a normal short?
