CNMV's decision to lift the ban on short selling on banking has come at a bad day for the sector by doubts about Greece and a solution to the crisis that has just arrived.

The most common process is as follows: an investor borrows shares, bonds or currencies to a third party for a specified period in return for an interest rate. Once the loan period the investor will buy back those securities to return them to their owner in the hope that its value has fallen, pointing goodwill. Investors who are more used this operational hedge funds.
- What is the effect on asset prices? The impact is similar to a boomerang. In a first phase, the accumulation of sinks downward price bets.

If giving the sales order Iberclear notes that the investor does not have those titles, cancels the operation and sets a penalty.
- Can you tell how much each company focuses bearish bets? In September 2008, following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the CNMV decided, in parallel with other supervisors exchanges, forcing communicate any short selling in excess of 0.25% of the capital of a listed company. In 2010 the supervisor deepened transparency in this statement. Today must notify the CNMV all short positions that exceed 0.2% of the capital of a company (whether financial or other business). This body shall publish on its website or exceed those filings reached 0.5% of the shares.
