it appears that you can still directly short futures. So, if your brokerage supports it, you're still OK there.

per schwab, their is a specific list of 799 financial stocks you are not allowed to short...maybe others are still fairplay and I imagine that SKF practiced the shorting of these stocks, hence the halting of trading for that ETF while other inverse ETFs are still fair game
