Please note that NASDAQ has made no changes to its systems in response to the SEC order banning short sales in certain securities. NASDAQ will not prohibit customers from entering short sales. NASDAQ will advise if any changes are made going forward.

Anyone have any info on this?

The onus is on the customer to be in compliance.

Read the SEC's banned list. More NASDAQ names than New York names.
