Summary/Abstract: ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) represent financial innovation that combines characteristics of mutual funds with advantages provided by continual exchange trading. ETFs shares can be also used for specific operations such as short selling or trading on margin. Because of minimal regulation the short sell interest (SI) with ETFs is several times higher than short sell interest with common stocks.
