Great stuff on Naked Shorting and quite frankly a reality check for EgoTheBooB


“Naked shorting is very difficult to do at scale. CNS and NSCC guarantees mean nobody intends to skirt the settlement. Very few brokers have the balls to sell short without a reasonable belief they can locate. The vast majority of all trades are settled on the same day CNS, guaranteed to pay, and buy-ins are mandatory. Mass naked shorting, knowing for sure they can't locate it in 13 days max, is basically suicide.”
