IMO, good news is pretty much responsible for the opportunity for management to dilute into it, but naked shorting can happen 'any time' there is inherent gain/higher value in the pps. When such is the case, MMs can still make money when retail traders are 'waiting'. That's when the mechanics of the trade kick in...while waiting, especially with gain on the books, retail traders are antsy. They like having the green in the pocket too.

Thats when the MMs do their 'best' work. Put a little fear in that comfort or tempt naked shorting to borrow shares. MMs lower the pps with their own dilution (shelf stock). Flood the 'buy'. Shorting takes up (sells to) those buys with the borrowed shares, to begin with, switching that lower buy to 'ask'. Now, retail traders with some gain start to get nervous when they see the next tick down on the buy loaded with buyers at THAT price. Out of fear of even lower pricing, the retail trader begins to sell into the buy too...

Are you feeling those hands in your pockets yet?
