Article on short selling

[monabri]

I came across this Morningstar article discussing "short selling".

https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/2 ... tocks.aspx

The article mentions "Short selling reforms" discussing the FCA's daily publication of short selling positions available on the FCA website (or alternatively, a site I've used,
https://shorttracker.co.uk/ )


" The FCA's list is useful to journalists and investors because it shines a light on a misunderstood corner of public markets. But could the list be in jeopardy?

The government has launched a review into short selling, and, as part of this wider dismantling of EU laws on financial services, the public list could go. "

To me this seems to be a retrograde step and not in the interest of retail investors!
