John, That is very interesting and is news to me. Thanks for posting it. I just did a fast search on the web and came up with this: www.sec.gov/rules/final/34-50103.htm Summary : *On January 3rd , 2005 the SEC is implementing a revised Regulation Sho / Affirmative Determination with strict rules for Market Makers to CLOSE OUT all naked short positions on all stocks in compliance with RULE 203, “Locate and Delivery Requirements for short sales”. Compliance Date: The compliance date for §§242.200 and 203 is January 3, 2005. . **Beginning January 10th, 2005 the SEC will DAILY PUBLICIZE ALL stocks where the Market Makers in each stock that has not complied, where traded shares have “NOT” been accounted for, which will force the Market Makers to buy shares of the Naked short or just plain short company's shares. My take on the above dates is that the short squeeze has already happened. The 10th is just the date given to publicize the list of anyone (the mms) who has not complied. I am willing to bet that all or most of the mms have already complied. Reid

If there is any excessive inflation of stock prices because of broker buying, TASR would be a prime candidate. The mo-mo's might just jump on this stock for that reason. Besides all that, TASR seems to have found a lot of buyers down there, and looks likely to move up to test gap resistance: 139.142.147.22 T
