Hoping for relieve from the SEC is like waiting on Santa Claus. The SEC hides behind 'securing a 'liquid market', which is also the mantra of the Brokerage Houses/Market Makers. While we small investors are whining and small stock companies are hurt as their number of shares are inflated by shorts, market makers and hedge funds laud the current rules. Guess who has a greater impact in the ears of the SEC?

Just remember, if shorts sell i.e. 5 million shares of one company's stock, the Market has absorbed that extra paper, but the company did not get any benefit from that extra issue. What makes this worse overall, the shorts can inflate a company's shares on the quiet which are held by the public, while if the company wanted to issue more shares it has to jump through a lot of regulatory hoops that cost it losts of legal fees.
