Scott - I appreciate you trying to put some sense of scale on the issue, but those short position figures only cover the mandatory reporting requirements for a specified date. They do not reflect the short position on a continuous basis.

The swine who profit from frontrunning would have sold the issue for a few days ahead, especially on Monday, June 11, and then covered at their first opportunity. Consequently, their temporary short position will never be reported.

While we're on the topic, those reports also do not take into account any undisclosed shorts. You will never hear about those, even if the TSE does catch the firms with their books offside, because they don't publicly admonish brokers on such matters. When they do it at all, they do it in the smoke-filled back room where the public can't see.
