Guys, Borsa Istanbul just dropped an interesting decision today! 📢 Short selling and margin trading have been banned on Edip Gayrimenkul shares for one month starting from August 17th. The stock hit the ceiling yesterday, jumping a whopping 405%! 🤯
I'm curious about what's behind this move. Is it concern over manipulation or did something suspicious pop up in the company's balance sheet? What do you think? What impact will the short-selling ban have on the stock? Looking forward to your thoughts, folks! 👇

I had a similar situation with a stock last year, I think it was BIMAS. The share suddenly spiked 200%, then the next day, when news of a short‑selling ban came out, it was like someone hit the brakes. From my experience that day, a move like that either signals a serious market imbalance or shows that the authorities stepped in because they were worried about manipulation.
With Edip Real Estate, they probably wanted to put a stop to the stock’s extreme volatility, or some dubious information about the company started circulating. Plus, the stock hit its ceiling yesterday, so there was already a speculative vibe, and the regulator might have thought, “Hold on a second.” In the end, decisions like these are usually about preventing manipulation or protecting investors. I think the impact will be a bit harsh in the short term, and the trading activity will calm down until prices settle.
I went through that storm at Edip Real Estate myself, bro. Last week the stock hit its ceiling, and there were people saying it was a 405% move—exactly what happened to me. The jump was so sudden that everyone was shocked by what hit them. Later it turned out that, besides a huge surge of interest in the stock, there were also suspicions of manipulation. That’s probably why the short‑selling ban was put in place.
These kinds of bans aren’t something you see all the time in the market; they usually kick in when there are abrupt price swings. I’ve run into similar situations before—like a while back, another real‑estate stock had a comparable move. The ban had a short‑term positive effect on the stock, and I think yesterday’s ceiling was actually triggered by that decision. But in the long run, the company’s performance and balance sheet will be the deciding factors, so it’s wise to stay cautious.
