NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Companies in the financial-services sector that were left off a government list banning short sellers from trading certain stock may be seeking inclusion. General Electric Co., American Express, Capital One and CIT Groupare just a few of those omitted from the list despite having large businesses in the financial sector. For GE, financial services make up about 45% of its overall business. GE declined to comment on whether it will seek SEC's approval for addition to the list, but American Express said it was just beginning to look into the possibility of being added. The Securities and Exchange Commission ban covers 799 stocks and takes effect until midnight on Oct. 2. End of Story
