Description of Naked Shorting

Naked shorting is actually illegal because it allows the manipulator a chance to force the stock price down without regard for normal stock price.
The illegal task in which the person sells the stocks that he doesn’t own or has not borrowed it in this hope that the price will fall and the trader would repurchase it at a lower price and then he will deliver the stock to the buyer to turn it into legal. In order to turn the dice in his cap, the trader must need to let the buyer know that the stocks are borrowed and he is selling someone’s stocks as he borrowed it for this purpose.
