economic terrorists have cost far mor lives and dollars indirectly than any act of war.

Since you guys seem so sure there's all this naked shorting going on in the markets, how do you explain DCAI/MDKI? These are real companies on normal hedge funds' radar, not like Pink Sheet silliness. DCAI/MDKI is an absolute sure thing which is in a field where hedge funds already have extensive operations and which pays off in three weeks. How come funds aren't doing it in droves? (hint: the real answer is because there are SHO and CNS buy-ins up the wazoozie)

Also, since there isn't much naked shorting going on here, maybe you can explain to me why that's a good thing in this case. How are shareholder interests served by this? If naked shorting were allowed, this would be a win-win-win for MDKI shareholders, DCAI shareholders, and arbs. (I'm not recommending blanket relaxation of shorting and delivery rules, but it is short-sighted to pretend that in the case of real companies in legit markets--the stuff we should be MOST concerned about--there would not be a real benefit for everyone with naked shorting, just as there is with writing options. Market regulation ought to be primarily to benefit investors, not speculators, and market techniques/instruments ought to be available to let those investors reduce risk while increasing returns.)
