I am all for reinstating the uptick rule. The problem i have is over the years i have noticed no enforcement of the rules, Naked shorting mainly. That means that the SEC has no problem with it ? if this is so I have a real problem with the SEC. It was my understanding that Naked shortiing was Illegal , if it is not please let me know. If naked shorting is Illegal then why is it not Enforced ? I , like many are very confused. lets make the rules apply to ALL and Enforce the rules.
