Cindylou822, sorry for appearing uninformed but 'Teepan' and 'Whipple'?? I'm not understanding the references. In any event, I gather that the cost to borrow shares is getting prohibitively expensive and, in fact, the ability to even borrow seems to be getting impossible.
I guess that's where naked shorting comes into play when shorts are unable to legitimately and legally borrow, whereas with illegal naked shorts there is no attempt to borrow.
I would truly hate to be in the shorts' shoes right now.
