It sure would be nice if a way existed to determine how many shares of a particular stock was held by the thread. I guess the difficulty is truth, trust, volitility and a couple of other things. On the NTAH thread there was an approximate count but I do not believe anyone ever did anything regarding using the power which a large block of stock can produce. I wonder what percent of stock certs held by a thread would mitigate the MM's impunity in shorting the stock?

Jeff, You bring up a very good point on calling certs and in particular, you could see a very obvious sign of shorting last week on RDIM. If all the shareholders called their certs, it may not stop the shorting, but would definitely make the MM think that maybe there's an easier mark. Add in a little bit of news, and they may stay clear. At least you grab their attention. I'm going to call my certs next week. Kevin
