Please do not allow short selling when share prices are falling.

SEC Studies Lifting Ban on Selling Short When Prices Falling 

New York: The Securities and Exchange Commission may allow short selling 
when share prices are falling, repealing a prohibition adopted in the 
agency's earliest days to prevent a rerun of the 1929 crash. 

This would allow for improper and unfair manipulation, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.
