    SEC Votes 3-2 To Curb Short Selling After 10% Stock Drop

    By Tiernan Ray

    The Securities & Exchange Commission has voted 3-2, Dems versus Republicans, to pass the “modified uptick” rule on short selling, which I discussed on Friday, according to Dow Jones Newswires’s Fawn Johnson.

    The rule that says that you can’t short a stock after it has fallen more than 10% in a day, sometimes referred to as the “circuit breaker” rule.

    Or, as Johnson more aptly describes it,

    Under the rule, a price test would be triggered for a security any day in which its price declines by 10% or more from the prior day’s closing price. For falling stocks, the rule will allow short selling only if the price of the security is above the current national best bid.
