The purpose of the thread is to discuss how Proposal #S7-24-99 will deregulate short
selling and how the changes will impact the the markets and the individual investor.

Summary: The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking public comment on the
regulation of short sales of securities. In this release, we seek comment on, among
other things: lifting the limits on short sales of exchange listed securities under advancing
market conditions;providing an exception for actively traded securities; focusing short
sale restrictions on certain market events and trading strategies; removing short sale
restrictions on hedging transactions; revising short sale regulation in response to certain
market developments; revising the definition of "short sale"; extending short sale
regulation to non-exchange listed securities; and eliminating short sale regulation
altogether.
