Rick, Let me see if I understand this correctly. Asensio wants to be able to freely short sell equities without obtaining a borrow? What kind of shit are those idiots smoking? Why would anyone think they should be allowed to sell something they don't own? Or haven't borrowed? I can't sell you a car I don't own. Or a tool. Or anything. So why should stocks be any different? Asensio and associates must be on some kind of wacky weed for sure. Naked short selling is wrong, plain and simple, and has to be eliminated. Period. Have fun, Phil
