Can you say more about naked shorting-----how do these naked shorts get covered.

I was just on the SGI list and there was a post about SGI being added to the naked short list. The problem with SGI is I don't think there is enough of a public float for the naked shorts to be covered.

If I recall there was discussion on this in early part of year.

Hi rrufff,

Yes, this is all true, you are correct. But it is so rare that, for the sake of simplicity, I just ignored all this.

IMHO, it really isn't a problem because retailers generally will not be involved in naked shorting.

Personally, I have never heard of anybody getting screwed the way you outline, but I have no doubt this is a possibility---just a relatively remote one.

Good points just the same, and thanks.
