rruff, I am happy to say that we are in full agreement when it comes to Cornell and such financiers.

This is the sort of thing I meant when I said the issue is not necessarily naked vs. covered shorting, but shorting by the likes of Cornell who are guaranteed a source of stock with which to cover.

Anyway, perhaps we retail shorts ought to join with you anti-naked shorts and fight the real enemy instead of one another.

I'm with you too as far as transparency on all shorting issues.

I guess we bulletin board shorts got yelled at and threatened so often by stock swindlers that we became a bit over-sensitive.

Cornell and the like are, in my opinion, way under-regulated.

Peter

rrufff,I would be interested in knowing if you have come across the name Eric Rosenfeld,who is the head of a hedge fund called Crescendo Partners LLP,which is based in New York,but has been active in Canada.
Thanks

By the way,keep up the great work in trying to reveal the unscrupulous tactics of some of the hedge funds.
