About 10 days ago, I put in a short sale order on a stock at market when I was getting a quote of $29.25 bid X $29.30 ask. I saw several trades go by at $29.25 after my order was entered - so I assumed I was filled at that price. But they dropped the price to fill me at $29. There were definitely no ticks below my fill price.
I have seen this kind of thing happen a few times too.
These kind of personal observations are why I assumed that there was no uptick rule on the NAZ (I've never seen this happen on the NYSE).

Subject: [CANSLIM] Shorting
The rule for shorting: NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX - you can only short on an uptick or zero tick. The only issues you can short without this rule are the popular ETF's - QQQ, SPY, DIA, et al. This rule was implemented in 1938 to prevent "bear raids" from occurring.
