What's the point? When you change the rules to allow short selling of stocks on an intraday basis, stick to it. Not productive to micromanage, let those 'intraday' short sellers short prices to 0.01 if they like, because when they short cover there will emerge opportunities to go on the long side. Let market forces prevail, else disallow short selling altogether, Bursamalaysia.
