On what I say, basically I stick to my general sentiment, "I can't tell you for a fact, but I know it's true".
On what you say...
Regarding OTC, I'm pretty sure there is more naked shorting on the OTC than a Nasdaq, by definition of level of regulation on these exchanges. So just because companies generally do not exceed $1B mkt cap, that does not argue against, but is complementary to my point as to why we have a lower stock price: the amount of buying on OTC is insufficient to offset the amount of selling (supplemented by naked shorting). But if there was not naked shorting on OTC, who knows, the price could be higher (and I think so).
Regarding FTD, the issue is naked shorts, not the shorts that are reporting it.
