READ THE Rule 200(g) of Regulation SHO requires a broker-dealer to mark sell orders in any equity security as "long" or "short." Rule 200 defines a short sale as "any sale of a security which the seller does not own or any sale which is consummated by the delivery of a security borrowed by, or for the account of, the seller." Rule 200(g)(1) provides that "[a]n order to sell shall be marked "long" only if the seller is deemed to own the security being sold pursuant to paragraphs through (f) of this section and either: (i) The security to be delivered is in the physical possession or control of the broker or dealer; or (ii) It is reasonably expected that the security will be in the physical possession or control of the broker or dealer no later than the settlement of the transaction.
Anyone who is concerned about actual short positions should refer to the Bi-monthly Short Interest report because that's what it reports. Anyone concerned with open positions here should refer to the final Reg SHO report, the Fails to Deliver report from the SEC. In fact, the SEC recommends using the Bi-Monthly Report and/or the FTD report to track Short Interest and open positions, so that it won't be confused with ownership marking.
Currently the HESG actual short interest is 3,943 - $.39 cents worth.
