<I don't call that borrowing; I call it a delusion.... "Spin">

No, it it's like a used car dealer with a buyer on one side of the lot for the "perfect" car that a seller just brought in. 2 clients, one middle man. Guys, shorting stock isn't a big deal.

<What's needed is enforcement of the settlement regulations.>

Absolutely... the SEC has been ridiculously lax for years on many issues.

<I still say that to talk about "naked shorts" is to deny the delusion. The brokerage houses don't need to borrow from anyone because they hold all the stock.>

That simply shows a complete ignorance of the situation. You should be talking about regulations pertaining to the broader issue of the so called "Chinese Wall".
