Short-selling in the buff

Ah, the iPad ... My latest technological fix for the problem of finding a way to blog more frequently.

An inaugural, twitterish comment: Nice headline on James Mackintosh's "Markets" column in the Financial Times today - "The bad guys who are running short of friends" - but how could he write it without considering the differences between good old-fashioned short selling and the naked version? Disappointing.

(Apologies for the lack of a link - for some reason I can't get FT.com to load at the moment.)
