<Traders who want to sell shares short are allowed to do so only when the stock's most recent transaction took place at a price the same as or higher than its previous trade. This is called the uptick rule, and was instituted to protect stocks from being manipulated downward by relentless short-selling.

In after-hours trading, however, there is no consolidated record of trades taking place among the disparate firms and markets. So traders say short sales are very likely taking place even when a stock is dropping in price.>
