ERHC Energy Inc (ERHE)

[ssc]

A totally illogical assumption:

How do i know that naked shorting is occurring? I know this because for a short seller to short in the conventional way, he must borrow shares from someone holding the shares in a margin account. But there are very few investors who can buy erhc on margin. In the U.S., OTC stocks cannot be purchased on margin at most brokers except at interactive brokers. Hence, for this much shorting to take place, the shares can't be merely borrowed as is the case in conventional shorting, but they must be printed as is the case with naked shorting.

The flaw in this narrative is that the erhe shares do not have to be bought on margin to be shorted, they only have to be held in a margin account. Of course the entire discussion is moot because there is no proof erhe short positions exist, and this illogical explanation does nothing to prove naked shorting of erhe.
