even if they manage to jack the share price up - which i'm not sure i believe because i very much doubt many stocks are beaten down by shorting - how can they quickly profit by dumping stock into the price spike if it takes so long to sell the stock?

Because if the companies now have control of the physical certificates and thus are the ones making the market, they can better assure any "spike" becomes the new market value. As Kerry pointed out, you now no longer have all the checks and balances that would necessitate a stock price falling back to earth.

WLD, Of course you realize that this statement is already being misinterpreted on RB.

i must still be missing something, because when i put my mind in criminal mode i have trouble seeing how this benefits the companies.
