How exactly does it "screw the shorts"? it really doesn't have anything to do with restricting the shorting of stocks, but rather beefed up regulation of liquidity requirements in regard to options settlement You can see the actual docs on dtcc website: https://www.dtcc.com/legal/sec-rule-filings.aspx NSCC-2021-002 If anything, i guess, it will make brokers more stringent in

This primarily has to do with selling/writing naked options. I guess, it will have an effect on big leveraged bets in either direction, but as for the shorting on actual stock, it really doesn't do anything. That being said, i think its a postive that leveraged speculation will become more scrutinized/expensive.

Chris my friend was referring to hedgefunds. Not individuals. For individuals there is margin call.

Hedge Funds can very much experience margin calls as well. Ever heard of LTCM or Amaranth Advisors?

Margin call it is then. I know hedgefunds also have but not finding the correct term for that. What is a hedge fund margin call? A margin call is a term frequently used in the investment world, and if you have any investments, you most likely heard it from your broker. Also, it is frequently used in form of its synonyms, which are “fed call,” or “maintenance call”.
