Sometimes they can disrupt the smooth flow of markets. The main risk is that when the time comes for the short seller to deliver shares, he cannot come up with the goods.
他们往往会打乱正常的市场流通，而主要的风险的在于，当卖空者需要结算股票的时候，他们却无货可出。
Indeed, since Muddy Waters, a research firm controlled by Carson Block, the short seller, first accused the company of fraud, international bond markets have shut out many Chinese issuers.
实际上，自卖空者卡森•布洛克(Carson Block)管理的浑水研究公司(Muddy Waters)首次指责嘉汉林业涉嫌欺诈以来，国际债券市场对许多寻求上市的中国企业关上了大门。
