Is it responsible for all the companies listed on the Reg SHO list? 125 companies listed for over 13 consecutive trading days.

Companies shouldn't really end up on the SHO list because people are shorting against toxic paper. In most cases, that's legal, though it shouldn't be.

As for the companies that are on the SHO list, the Nasdaq and NYSE issues, as exchange-listed stocks, aren't likely to have entered into toxic financing agreements; usually they can find other ways to get money. Their presence on the list isn't necessarily due to naked shorting, either; there are many reasons why there may be persistent fails in a stock.

Bear in mind also, that 125 stocks out of the thousands that trade in our markes ain't very many.
