Thanks for the posting! $HDIH$

Due to continued concerns about failures to deliver, and the fact that the Commission continued to observe certain securities with failure to deliver positions that were not being closed out under then existing requirements, in 2007 the Commission eliminated the “grandfather” provision and in 2008 the Commission eliminated the “options market maker” exception.


Locate Requirement. Regulation SHO requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds to believe that the security can be borrowed so that it can be delivered on the date delivery is due before effecting a short sale order in any equity security.[7] This “locate” must be made and documented prior to effecting the short sale.



All of these things show that the MM's can indeed borrow shares to create a market. They also show that they must "locate" these shares before hand. The fact that the daily short % has gone up shows that the market is having to be created due to the fact that shareholders aren't willing to sell their shares and the FACT that the company hasn't been diluting the publicly traded float. Just keep squeezing on those shorts!
When volume starts pouring into this and the MM's don't have any more available shares to borrow, they drop the hammer and CALL on investors who have open short positions causing them to close-out their position so the MM can sell to new buyers CUZ shares can't they can't just make up shares.
Guess what happens when the holders of open shorts are forced to close-out when they are fighting MM's for shares to sell to the new high volume traffic in this stock?
BOOM!!! This is what leads to the $MOASS that others have mentioned.
