Cost of Living Is Rising for Some Bears

It's going to cost customers of at least one online brokerage more to short some favored bear stocks.
Starting next month, Harrisdirect, a division of Chicago-based Harris Bank, is going to begin charging customers for any additional costs the brokerage incurs in trying to execute a short sale in so-called hard-to-borrow stocks.
Harris Bank is owned by Bank of Montreal (BMO:NYSE - news - research).
In the past, Harrisdirect, like many retail brokerages, didn't pass on these extra charges to their short-selling customers. Rather, the brokerage absorbed the added charges, viewing them as a necessary cost of doing business.
But some say the extra trading fee -- anything from a few to a few hundred dollars -- is a sign of things to come in the brokerage industry. That's especially so in light of a new Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that's aimed at cracking down on abusive short-selling practices in hard-to-borrow stocks.
A hard-to-borrow stock typically is a smallish stock such as Martha Stewart Living (MSO:NYSE - news - research), NovaStar Financial (NFI:NYSE - news - research) and Netflix (NFLX:Nasdaq - news - research), with relatively few shares outstanding, many of which have already been sold short. On Jan. 3, the rules for shorting these and other hard-to-borrow stocks got a lot tougher under a new SEC measure called Regulation SHO.
Regulation SHO doesn't alter the basics of short-selling, which remains a respectable way for traders to make money by borrowing shares from a broker and betting a stock will decline in price. However, the rule does make it more difficult for traders to establish new short positions in stocks that already are the subject of a high number of bearish bets.
The rule prohibits brokers from permitting traders to short a stock unless there are "reasonable grounds" for believing there are shares available to borrow. If those shares cannot be later found, the rule sets down a procedure for brokers to close out the short positions in relatively short order.

(Adds comment from Nasdaq spokeswoman on Pink Sheets companies subject to Reg SHO)
By Carol S. Remond
A Dow Jones Newswires Column
NEW YORK -- U.S. stock exchanges will begin publishing so-called threshold lists Friday evening as part of a broad effort by securities regulators to curb failures to deliver stock on settlement date.
Under a new Securities and Exchange Commission regulation known as Reg SHO, all exchanges have to make public daily lists of securities with large amounts of failure to deliver. Reg SHO went into effect on Monday.
These lists will be closely watched by market participants because once a security gets on one, it will become harder and more expensive to sell short the stock and that will likely translate in a higher trading price.
Friday evening's lists will be the first clear indication of the potential impact of Reg SHO on the market, especially when it comes to the stock of thinly traded and more heavily shorted small-cap companies.
Representatives for the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Archipelago and the Chicago Stock Exchange say that the exchanges are ready and will publish their respective lists on their Web sites sometime between market close and midnight.
The web addresses for the lists are as follows:
-NYSE: http://www.nyse.com/threshold
-AMEX: http://amex.com/amextrader
-ARCA: http://www.tradearca.com/traders/regsho_th.asp
-Chicago: http://www.chx.com
A Nasdaq spokeswoman wasn't immediately able to provide a working web address.
Nasdaq's threshold list is the one that is the most anticipated by traders and investors since it is likely to include the largest number of securities. Nasdaq's list will include securities trading on its national market, small-cap market and on the Over-The-Counter market. The Nasdaq list will also include securities trading on the Pink Sheets that under SEC rules are "reporting companies." Non-reporting Pink Sheets companies are not covered by Reg SHO. But NASD is working on a SHO-like rule that would cover non-reporting companies trading on the Pink Sheets.
According to a Nasdaq spokeswoman there are about 1,300 reporting Pink Sheets companies. But only 235 of those, for which the exchange has current information on shares outstanding, are currently subject to Reg SHO threshold requirements. There are about 3,500 securities trading on Nasdaq's national and small-cap markets.
John Bosey, a lawyer for the Boston Stock Exchange, said the exchange will comply with the SEC regulation but he wasn't sure whether the exchange would publish a threshold list by midnight.
A spokesman for the Chicago Exchange wasn't immediately able to say whether the exchange would publish a list or where it would be located. A spokesperson for the National Stock Exchange, formerly the Cincinnati Stock Exchange, said the exchange is not required to publish a threshold list because it has no original listing.
In a short sale, a security not owned by the seller is sold in anticipation of a decrease in the stock price. Under existing NASD and NYSE rules, firms generally have to locate securities before accepting a short sale, a process known as affirmative determination. Brokerage firms also have to borrow a security or be able to provide it for delivery on demand on settlement date, three days after the transaction. If a firm cannot deliver the securities by settlement, a failed trade is entered into the Continuous Net Settlement (CNS), a system administered by the National Securities Clearing Corp., or NSCC.
Reg SHO, among other things, aims to have these failed trades settled, mostly by clearly identifying securities with a high threshold of failed deliveries. Under Reg SHO, threshold securities are defined by two criteria: There are at least 10,000 shares in aggregate failed deliveries for the security for five consecutive settlement days and these fails constitute 0.5% or more of outstanding shares. Under Reg SHO, brokers who fail to deliver a security for 13 consecutive settlement days will have to execute mandatory buy-in to clean the fails. If the broker cannot buy-in the security, it and its clients will be restricted from further selling short the security without a "pre-borrow agreement."

I really don't give two chits about CMKX but I am finding the number of stocks on the naked short 'fail to deliver' list rather large. It appears that the naked shorting problem to drive stocks down was rampent.
Now we know that those over the years that said naked shorting didn't exist or was negligable were wrong, especially in the BB and pink sheet issues.
SHO
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)-Major U.S. stock exchanges have now published
their first so-called threshold lists as required by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Under a new SEC regulation known as Reg SHO, stock exchanges have to
make public daily lists of securities with large amounts of failure
to deliver on settlement date. Reg SHO went into effect on Jan. 3.
The New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange made
their first respective threshold lists available to the public as
required by the SEC before midnight Friday. But Nasdaq, which has to
keep track of a far larger number of securities, was about 10 hours
late reporting its list.
The threshold lists were highly awaited by market participants
because once a security gets on one, it will become harder and more
expensive to sell short the stock, and that will likely translate
into a higher trading price.
So far, lists provided by NYSE and AMEX appear to indicate that
failures to deliver stock on settlement date is not a large problem
for securities trading on the two exchanges. The NYSE list totals 73
securities, 9 of which represent the common stock of U.S. companies.
The AMEX list is also relatively modest with 70 securities listed,
22 of which are the common shares of individual companies.
The list provided by Nasdaq is much larger, however. Nasdaq's
threshold list was most anticipated by traders and investors since
it covers mostly small-cap stocks - some of which are fairly
illiquid and heavily shorted - that are most likely to have high
levels of failures to deliver on settlement date.
So far, Nasdaq's list includes 379 stocks: 54 trading on Nasdaq's
national market, 42 on its small-cap market, 29 on the Over-the-
Counter Bulletin Board, and 254 companies trading on the unregulated
Pink Sheets.
Nasdaq's list is far from complete as it stands.
Under Reg SHO, Nasdaq is supposed to report large failures to
deliver for all companies trading on the Pink Sheets, which under
SEC rules are "reporting companies."
But a spokeswoman for the exchange said Friday that out of the 1,300
reporting Pink Sheets companies, Nasdaq would only be able to report
on about 235 for which it had received current information on shares
outstanding. (That number likely went up overnight, since 254 Pink
Sheet companies were found over the threshold defined by Reg SHO as
of Saturday morning).
The Nasdaq spokeswoman wasn't immediately available to say whether
the Nasdaq list covers all 3,218 securities trading on the Over-the-
Counter Bulletin Board. There are about 3,500 securities trading on
Nasdaq's national and small-cap markets.
Non-reporting Pink Sheet companies are not covered by Reg SHO. NASD
is currently working on a SHO-like rule that would cover non-
reporting Pink Sheet companies.
Nasdaq could face severe difficulties meeting its obligation to
report on all reporting Pink Sheet companies, given the complete
lack of information and transparency on that trading venue. For
example, CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX), a Pink Sheet company with an
estimated 800 billion shares outstanding, is a reporting company
under SEC rules. The company has refused to tell even its
shareholders how many shares are outstanding and has told its
transfer agent not to share that information. As it stands, it will
be impossible for Nasdaq to calculate whether CMKM meets the
threshold as defined by Reg SHO.
In a short sale, a security not owned by the seller is sold in
anticipation of a decrease in the stock price. Under existing NASD
and NYSE rules, firms generally have to locate securities before
accepting a short sale, a process known as affirmative
determination. Brokerage firms also have to borrow a security or be
able to provide it for delivery on demand on settlement date, three
days after the transaction. If a firm cannot deliver the securities
by settlement, a failed trade is entered into the Continuous Net
Settlement, or CNS, a system administered by the National Securities
Clearing Corp., or NSCC.
Reg SHO, among other things, aims to have these failed trades
settled, mostly by clearly identifying securities with a high
threshold of failed deliveries. Under Reg SHO, threshold securities
are defined by two criteria: There are at least 10,000 shares in
aggregate failed deliveries for the security for five consecutive
settlement days, and these fails constitute 0.5% or more of
outstanding shares.
Under Reg SHO, brokers who fail to deliver a security for 13
consecutive settlement days will have to execute mandatory buy-in to
clean the fails. If the broker cannot buy-in the security, it and
its clients will be restricted from further selling short the
security without a "pre-borrow agreement."

I know what I know. If you have different info and theories so be it.
If you are long and strong CMKX, I am sure giving you accurate info will be disputed.

I have had several people ask me this specific question having to do with Reg. SHO, so I will attempt to answer it here. The question is “What does the SEC mean when it says that all existing ‘Fails’ (Naked Shorts) are ‘Grand fathered’, and does this mean that all past fails will escape the new rules.”
It is a confusing subject but let me make a stab at it as I think I understand it.
I assume that in order to attempt to cause the least amount of havoc as possible, the SEC decided to put the “grandfather” clause in since not doing it would probably mean that all naked shorts would have had to be covered within 13 days after Jan. 10th. But, don’t misunderstand. This does NOT let all the old Naked Shorts off the hook. It just spreads the forced covering out over a longer period.
First of all, understand, all legal shorts, those that actually did borrow shares are not affected by the rule other than perhaps the natural supposition that if a company has a large legal short, there is a good chance it could also have a large naked short. Which would mean that “buy ins” that the naked shorts would have to make could drive the stock price up and create grief for the legitimate shorts.
Now lets go back and define a “naked short”. As I have posted here many times, a naked short is illegal and is a stock that was sold without first having been bought. It is a “sale not long”. In other words it would be like me calling my broker and telling him to sell 1000 shares of IBM that he does not have “long” in my account with him. (On line brokers do not allow this, but most full service brokers do) Now the discussion would probably go like this. My broker would probably say; “Tchauncy, you don’t have any IBM with me”. I would respond, “I know, I have it in my safe deposit box. I will bring it to you.” With that said, he will sell the shares “long”. (not mark the sell ticket “sell short” and borrow the shares as he would if he knew it was a short sale). Now while I have a good relationship with my full service broker, up until now, he would probably give me as long as month to deliver those share certificates. But, If I were a hedge fund that generated a lot of business, who worked through the “institutional desk”, and gave such an order, most firms would let me skate for maybe a year or maybe forever unless they get a buyin notice. This is where DTC would come in and “lend” your certs to my broker to cover any buyins. If you know anything about all the lawsuits against DTC on the subject, the real problem is that DTC has in many cases electronically lent the same certificates over and over if enough shares are not in CEDE (their vault). The problem is that this is suppose to be illegal. But lending electronic shares has been so profitable for DTC over the years, it was never attacked .
Now what is wrong with what I just described and therefore illegal? And why might I not have just borrowed the shares and had my broker mark the ticket “sell short”? Well, here is why. Brokerage firms are only suppose to allow shares that are authorized for margin and are held in margin accounts to be legally lent. Only listed stocks are legally allowed to be marginable. So right off the bat, except for a minuscule set of circumstances, no pink sheet or BB stock is marginable, so it is not possible for your broker to borrow those shares so it is not possible to legitimately sell theses stocks short unless you are a MM. So up until Reg SHO, the only way Pinkies or BB’s could be shorted is naked. Reg SHO is suppose to eliminate this once and for all. (we hope)
Up until the last couple of years, the SEC either was in denial or just didn’t care of the rampant abuse that was going on as describe above. Thanks to people like David Patch at investigatethesec.com and the campaign they have been weighing for the past three years, it appears that the SEC has finally awoken to what was happening and is trying to stop it. They have identified that over 20% of all stocks have abusive naked shorting going on. (The “threshold” of .05% of total shares outstanding or 10,000 shares). Many of these are listed stock which might make one ask, why would a stock that is legally allowed to be shorted have a naked short? Well in many cases, the short is so big that all the legal shares that could be borrowed were. But in the past that has never stopped these hedge funds. They would then short more “naked” as I describe above. So the “threshold” describe above only has to do with the “naked shorts”, not the legitimate ones.
So, with this background, back to my original subject, the “Grandfather” clause and what penetrates its umbrella. Simply stated, it is volume that penetrates it. The bigger the short, the more volume, the more problems the naked shorts have. It doesn’t make any difference if that volume is upside, or downside. IMO, it goes something like this, a couple of examples:
If a company has a 5% naked short fail position that is unresolved past settlement on January 3 and no shares traded this whole past week, then that naked short is not forced to do anything YET. But, lets say that I bought 10,000 shares of that stock from you on Wednesday and that was the only shares that traded that day, then, even though it was not the short seller who did anything, 500 shares under the “grandfather” umbrella would be penetrated. This happens because when I bought those shares from you DTC electronically transferred 10,000 shares on settlement date to my account, BUT due to the naked short, they really didn’t have 10,000 “certificate backed” shares to legally transfer to me. They only had 9,500. So you can see that 500 shares just went into a “fail”. Now don’t worry, you bought and paid for your shares, they are not going to go after you. BUT they will have to electronically trace back the genesis of the shares and eventually find who naked shorted those shares and he WILL receive a “buy in” notice on those shares. Which means he will then have 13 days from your settlement day to either buy in those 500 shares himself, or if he doesn’t, it will be bought in for him on the 14th day. (In the old days, it was still very possible on listed stocks that he could eventually receive a buy in notice, but he was given more time to try to go out an borrow the shares if he didn’t want to cover. That rule to my understanding has changed. If he is caught now, he can no longer just go borrow shares, he WILL be “bought in”, either willingly or unwillingly. Now this example is very simplistic but should get the intended concept across. Obviously if more shares are traded, say 100,000 then 5,000 shares are affected, etc.
Now with the above concept, you can extrapolate the situation for whatever percent naked shorts or fails are in the particular stock. If a company has 25% naked short, then 2,500 shares per 10,000 volume penetrates the Grandfather. 50% naked, 5000 shares, 100% naked, all the shares. So, the cute part about this situation is that it is so self perpetuating. If the short is large enough, even the short himself will further create his own problem with his future buy ins
Now with the above said, It might just explain why we have seen the stock move up so easily this week on very light volume. Big spreads by MM’s are usually done when they want to dry up volume. Just as the day before when we spent four hours bid .016, offer .017, we spent four hours yesterday bid .017, offer .018.
BTW, as I have been posting for the past ten days, There is no question in my mind that we have a very large short here but I still don’t know whether we are going to be on a “PUBLISHED” list or not since we are not reporting and there still doesn’t seem to be a venue website to handle pinks, but the trading tells me, as it has for the past week, that something is different in the way this is trading here. But only time will tell if Reg. SHO is going to have a lasting affect on OMOG but the most important thing to remember is that the SEC has clearly stated that all future naked short selling will not be tolerated.
CMKX doesn't have to do anything. What exactly have they done of any value for the shareholders anyway for the past year?
DTC never knows the float. How could anyone have an accurate number. The O/S is defined daily.
Traders will find the stocks that are on the list for several days in a row. If the short positions are not cleared by the shorter, the broker/dearler responsible will force the buy-in after 13 days.
Like I said, they know all, who, when, where, how much, what color and shoe size, daily.
DTC is the world’s largest securities depository and a clearinghouse for institutional post-trade processing and settlement. DTC holds and services more than $20 trillion in assets for its participants.
NSCC is the leading provider of broker-to-broker, centralized clearance, settlement and information services to the financial services industry. Using innovative and highly flexible technology systems, NSCC supports and provides connectivity to thousands of brokers, dealers, banks, mutual funds, insurance carriers and other financial intermediaries.
SHO went into affect on the 3rd I believe. Three day settlement plus one day to compile the data. The stocks to watch are the ones that are on the list several days in a row.
The T/A has little to do with it except give the O/S data to the DTC. DTC knows all, who, when, where and how much, daily.
The T/A and the DTC have the records. The data for the list is likely retrieved from the DTC.
Who knows what the number is but if you do some simple math and take the 50000 shareholders (GOT CMKX) they claim to have had times 500 bucks each that $25M alone.
I am going to watch IFTA just out of curiousity. I really have to laugh that CMKX did not make the list for it was the last hope for some of the longs, you know, the big squeeze.
I really wonder how much UC and friends took out of this deal,$5M, 10, 20 or more?
NASD/Pinks/BB SHO list 01/07/05.....
I thought i would post the list here but if it conflicks with your board, please feel free to take it off. This board might consider adding to its S-8 companies the daily NASD SHO list for quick viewing and historical reference as the S-8 list. You could place the SHO links in your board info and then just paste the list in a post as I have below the provided link with >NASD/Pinks/BB SHO list 00/00/05, in the post header.

IFTA is even on the list and that stock has been dead for almost three years, which goes to show that the naked shorts never cover on a dead stock even after several years. I am going to keep an eye on IFTA over the next several weeks just to see if there is any volume.
I know this necause of the nature if the beast. This stock has been used as a personal bank by the insiders for racing and other presonal goodies. No firm will ever sign off, and thats if they can even get someone to do the audit in the first place.
Filing has nothing to do with being on the list. Besides, CMKX will never be able to get anyone to sign off their financials to file.
Here is a post that may help explain.....................
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=OMOG&read=194523
This appears to be the new SHO list. No CMKX, what a surprise. There are pinks (RE: DCUT,CSJJ) and BB (RE: GLBT,GZFX) stocks on the list.

Good mistake.

Would it be possible to get maninfla off of this board? eom
LMFAO
The Carolyn claims for sale on Ebay. Wasn't the Carolyn pipe suppose to be worth kazillions? $250K, now that is just so funny.
Here is what a real PR looks like from a real diamond exploration company and you will notice that no mention of race cars or Visa cards.
Ashton Announces Diamond Results from Renard 2 and Renard 3 Drill Core; Renard 2 Sample Returns 115 cpht
NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CCNMATTHEWS
Ashton Mining of Canada Inc.
December 13, 2004 - 17:07:04 ET
Ashton Announces Diamond Results from Renard 2 and Renard 3 Drill Core; Renard
2 Sample Returns 115 cpht
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 13, 2004) - Ashton Mining of
Canada Inc. (TSX:ACA)
Robert T. Boyd, President and CEO of Ashton Mining of Canada Inc. ("Ashton" or
the "Corporation"), is pleased to report encouraging diamond results for
samples of drill core collected from the Renard 2 and 3 kimberlitic bodies in
2004. After processing by dense media separation ("DMS") at Ashton's North
Vancouver laboratory, an 11.54 tonne sample from Renard 2 and an 8.63 tonne
sample from Renard 3 returned estimated diamond content of 115 and 68 carats
per hundred tonnes ("cpht") respectively.
Renard 2 and 3 are two of the six diamondiferous kimberlitic bodies situated
within a 0.5 square kilometre "Core Area" of the Renard cluster on the 200,000
hectare Foxtrot property in north-central Quebec. Ashton and its joint venture
partner, SOQUEM INC. ("SOQUEM"), are currently completing the analysis of a
635 tonne bulk sample collected from Renard 2, 3, 4 and 65 in 2004.
Renard 2 and 3 Diamond Drill Core Results
Renard 2 is located approximately 200 metres northwest of Renard 3 and has an
approximate surface area of 0.6 hectares. The 11.54 tonne sample was collected
by drilling eight core holes during the winter and summer field seasons, and
returned 13.30 carats of diamonds larger than 1.18 mm using a square aperture
screen. These results give the sample an estimated diamond content of 115
cpht. The three largest diamonds recovered are a 1.18 carat brown
tetrahexahedroid crystal, a 0.94 carat brown octahedral crystal and a 0.76
carat grey octahedral composite crystal.
Renard 3 is the southernmost kimberlitic body in the Renard Core Area and has
an estimated surface area of 0.3 hectares. The 8.63 tonne sample was collected
during the summer of 2004 by drilling eight core holes into the body. The
sample returned 5.89 carats of diamonds larger than 1.18 mm using a square
aperture screen, giving the sample an estimated diamond content of 68 cpht.
The largest diamond recovered is a clear partial crystal weighing 0.88 carat.
As shown in the table below, the cumulative 25.07 tonnes of material from
Renard 2 processed to date has returned 22.02 carats of diamonds for an
estimated diamond content of 88 cpht. The cumulative 18.62 tonnes from Renard
3 has returned 20.24 carats for an estimated diamond content of 109 cpht.

Commentary on Results
The most recent diamond data from Renard 2 and 3 are substantially different
from those returned by earlier samples. The diamond contents of individual
samples may not be representative of the overall diamond content of these
bodies due to a number of factors, including the location of the drill holes
and the relatively small size of the samples. Results from the approximate 150
tonnes of material collected from each of Renard 2 and Renard 3 by reverse
circulation ("RC") drilling will be reported in the first quarter of 2005.
In total, results from approximately 380 of the 635 tonnes of kimberlitic
material collected in 2004 are still pending and are expected in the first
quarter of 2005. This material includes the approximate 150 tonnes of RC
material from Renard 2 and 3, as well as the approximate 50 tonnes of RC
material and 10 tonnes of drill core from Renard 4, and 20 tonnes of RC
material from Renard 65.
As announced earlier, the cumulative 635 tonnes of kimberlitic material
collected from Renard 2, 3, 4 and 65 in 2004 is expected to yield at least 300
carats. This parcel of diamonds will provide the basis for a preliminary
determination of diamond value and rock value for the Core Area. To date, 315
tonnes of material collected and processed from four of the six Renard bodies
situated within the Core Area has returned 28 diamonds greater than 0.5 carat
including five that exceed one carat in size.
