David and Bruce. EUTO comparison. Another difference is that the short party in Canada has his restricted stock which could become at risk!! I'm not a lawyer, but when there are assets and exposure, I would be looking closely at the risk. Anyone know of any precedents?? BH

IMO, there is little practical difference if a professional short happens to be registered as a Market Maker himself personally, or if he has an associate relationship with a registered Market Maker. I believe if you look at "the box" for DCTC you will see the associate Market Maker involved here. There are LEGAL differences, some of which may favour a non-MM shorter... Colin re Also, if I would have to believe that if brokers/MM and others saw a large short position coming into play, they also would start shorting themselves (disclaimer - pure speculation) to pick up some profits on the way down. If this is true, our short position might be a lot larger than this one or two individuals that were found. This was factored into the short position I posted last week...
