Tampa, I believe naked shorting is a red herring

to distract investors form other nasty factors in pink stock manipulation.

Sure, it's a problem for companies that are losing money and headed down the tubes. If a company is making good profits and/or paying a dividend it isn't a good target for massive shorting of any kind unless their share price is way too high IMO. BBB had a good post about this quoting Mark Cuban:

More important, in my view, is culpability by insiders in market games with their own stock. N.M. N.R. call stock loans for example.

As for the difficult to borrow list, there must be some reason GFCI is "restricted" and I'm guessing the high limit sell orders have something to do with it.
