Good question, probably better answered by Insider. I do know of one occasion in which I was involved with a NYSE stock that was delisted because it had an insufficient number of MM's. I never looked too far into it because the firm, Kidder Peabody (at the time), made me whole. DGMAC

TraderGreg, Naked shorting of BB stock by MM and others happens all the time. legal or illegal it doesn't matter. Money talks. Sometimes a stock is targeted for shorting to institute a terminal short where the position never has to be covered when the company goes under. From what I understand taxes don't have to be paid either, because the position is never closed out. This is big money at work here. The only way to combat this threat to a company is to have the backing of that company, it is very difficult to have the capitalization of a group of investors work against the shorters as its usually too small and unorganized. Calling for certs is a good way to begin the fight IMO. Dave PS: Email me your phone# and I will tell you a story about one.
