Pretty Simple, MMs can sell shares they don't own at both the Ask Price and the Bid Price, either way it is Naked Shorting

<<<<< 12.4 million trades are listed as short sales. That only leaves ~ 6 million for buys >>>>>

If they sell at the Ask Price the transaction is recorded as a Buy.

If they sell at the Bid Price the transaction is recorded as a Sell.

As far as MMs covering their Shorting, do you feel that all transactions between Broker/Dealers are recorded in the daily Time/Sales data that retail investors see?
