zomniac: I am not surprised by that number at all. Walking the price down to these levels any legal short that actually borrowed shares would have been foolish not to have covered. Frankly, I am surprised there are 1500 shares showing. On the other hand Former SEC Chairman Cox is on record as having stated that abusive naked shorting was a criminal act. Criminals do not generally report their crimes. The nakedly shorted number of shares is the number all of us are interested in but do not have access to. I believe that number is huge and growing again. Go CDIV!!!
