Certain option transactions now prohibited by the SEC | |
Effective on Friday, September 29, 2008 option traders are prohibited from initiating certain opening transactions on stocks where short selling has been banned by the SEC. No option position can be opened if that position would lead to a net short equity position if exercised or assigned.
This includes opening naked short call positions and exercising long puts unless the underlying stock is held. Positions opened prior to Friday, September 19 are not affected. |
