I suggest you call and ask them since you seem so concerned about it. - patchman I am far from the "perceived" expert on the topic. Looking forward to the response you get from that senior official from FINRA. Looking forward to the day "short exemptions" are reported for EXPH and all other pinksheet stocks. Still strange that the November 10, 2010 deadline was missed. http://regsho.finra.org/DailyShortSaleVolumeFileLayout.pdf Good Luck!
