Premarket levels Short selling restriction stocks Volume price analysis (VPA) What is short selling? Selling short involves selling borrowed shares in order to buy them back at a lower price, essentially profiting from a bearish bet. Short selling has been blamed for market crashes and has been temporarily banned several times in the past around the world. In the U.S., the uptick rule was a long-standing statute that restricted a short sale to conditions in which the next price quoted involved a bid higher than the previous one. In-depth empirical research, however, reveals that short selling actually provides efficiency and information to the markets, and so the uptick rule has been replaced by looser measures.
