Naked short selling, or naked shorting relates to the practice of short selling without first borrowing the shares or making an "affirmative determination" that the shares can be borrowed. Typically, traders must borrow a stock, or determine that it can be borrowed, before they sell it short. This is true when you placing a trade through your broker. They must determine if shares are available for shorting before allowing the investor to short a particular security. However, some professional investors and hedge funds take advantage of loopholes in the rules to short shares without making any attempt to borrow or determine if they could be borrowed. In October of 2003 the SEC issued a regulation, known as "Regulation SHO", seeking to limit abusive naked shorting. The regulation was designed to limit manipulative short selling for the purpose of lowering the stock price on thinly traded stocks. Critics of the new rule argue that naked-shorting is one of the only market forces that can act against over-hyped, or irrationally exhuberant market place conditions. See related Links for an article about one particular CEO on a campaign against short sellers. He believes they dramatically lowered the Stock Market value of his company.

"Shorting a call" is better known as writing a naked call. Basically, a naked call is a call on a position you don't hold, and it has unlimited risk--if you get exercised and the strike price plus the premium is lower than the stock price, you must make up the difference out of your margin account--or you'll receive a margin call from your brokerage. Many brokerages won't allow you to write a naked call, and the ones that will demand a very large margin account and a lot of experience in trading options.
