The IP did two edits, second was typo, but first was "Corrected obtuse language which confuses naked short selling with legal short selling, highlight citatations of unsupported opinion as such."
The IP actually made naked short selling make sense instead of being unclear how it normally is on Wikipedia.
Ryulong, who is in cahoots with Weiss, Jayjg, SlimVirgin, and every other bad element on Wikipedia banned the IP for life to so it can never let truth appear on Wikipedia again.

QUOTE
'''Naked short selling''', or '''naked shorting''', is a term used to refer to a form of stock manipulation involving the largely illegal practice of placing sales transactions for stock that the seller does not own, and has not borrowed. Hence, the sale is "naked", as the buyer's money is paid, but no share is delivered. Except for market makers in limited instances, deliberate delivery failure is prohibited by SEC rules. Naked short selling is not the same as innocent delivery failure due to lost or stolen certificates, nor is it related to legitimate short selling (where a share of stock is first borrowed before the sale is placed). The term refers to a deliberate practice designed to depress the price of the affected security, by creating the appearance of more supply than actually exists, by effecting sales transactions without capability or intent to deliver the shares sold.
That's naked short selling!

No, that's not naked short selling, which is illegal. That's regular short selling, which is legal.
The IP also did a few fixes in the second paragraph, too, but they're easier to see in diff mode: See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=159901271
I wonder how long until someone erases the diff!
Obvious, Gary Weiss is trying to legitimize his criminal actions
