I agree with everything except this statement ". Naked shorting is 100% income for the shorter if he never has to repurchase the stock. "
A NSS does not get the cash just by selling and failing to deliver,(if that was the case the clearing firms would be out of busines in a day) their accounts are credited and if they cover at a lower price, they then can get the cash. They do have to cover to get a settled balance unless the stock goes worthless.
