Short selling & assuming there is no security (pfd shrs, etc) offshore: I have noticed for example on a stock that it cannot be sold short at a few brokerages. Suppose it is not available at others. Suppose there is no other security to short offshore. Then, is it a market maker only, that can short and those offshore shorters ? How can offshore short something that does not exist? Is this manipulation? Why in one case with the above assumptions is one company's price taken up to $84 (and dropped the next day) whereas with another co the price is not allowed to rise much (maybe 1/2 pt or so). Is that maintaiining an 'orderly' market? ie market maker responsibility Is that offshore shorting illegal?
