False. New rule's about Non-OTC OPTIONS, not shorts.
..New rule says short sellers ...
Let’s review what it actually says:
The advance notice of National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) is annexed hereto as Exhibit 5 and consists of modifications to Rule 4(A) (Supplemental Liquidity Deposits) of the NSCC’s Rules & Procedures (“Rules”) to (1) calculate and collect, when applicable, supplemental liquidity deposits to NSCC’s Clearing Fund (“Supplemental Liquidity Deposits,” or “SLD”) on a daily basis, rather than only in advance of the monthly expiration of stock options (defined in Rule 4(A) as “Options Expiration Activity Period”); (2) establish an intraday SLD obligation that would apply in advance of Options Expiration Activity Periods and may also be applied on other days, as needed; (3) implement an alternative pro rata calculation of Members’ SLD obligations that may apply in certain circumstances; and (4) simplify and improve the transparency of the description of the calculation, collection and treatment of SLD in Rule 4(A) of the Rules, as described in greater detail below.
