Shorting a stock is a viable way to express one's estimate that the stock price will decline. Naked Shorting a stock is counterfeiting, just like printing ones own money. Only in the case of naked shorting, the manipulator hasn't got the gonads to face the cashier as he passes the fake note. So for me, there is no doubt that shorting happens. Anyone that denys shorting doesn't know much about the market. Non-CNS Clearing settlement happens as well. And as long as it does, there will always be the temptation to just log in the SFTD's and balance the books with another B/D that holds your paper. But you already know all that. You have Brains Hanging Out ;-) Here is what A@P said about Naked Shorting... and you know the trouble he got into...

Also , regarding Offshore / Canadian shorting....it's my understanding that it's naked shorting. Is that true , and if so , who loses the money to the successful naked short ?

I thought it was due to an imbalance between long and short positions at the brokerage ?
