From what I gather ASTM and STEM got dragged along with the OSIP run today. ASTM is down a penny in after hours. I may reconsider a buy at 1.10.
Naked shorting is still illegal in the U.S. The April 1st thing only makes the brokers make sure that a legit shorter does have access to the shares to borrow to short. They are now just not taking the short order but checking inventory inhouse. If you follow ALYDR here you'll see he isn't getting his short orders filled because of the tightening of the restriction imo.
I still think shorting creates an orderly market. Why shouldn't they be allowed to bet the other way.
As far as VTSI is concerned the bombing is over for now.
For those who understand no explanation is needed, ...For those who don't none will.
