This makes complete sense to me. Maybe a Citadel, and or a Millennium. If they can. Could be interesting.

Very interesting QL300. First of all I wonder on what basis your relative, the MD, believes in the existence of a substantial naked short position. That the shorts will not start covering this year makes sense since there are only 3.5 trading days left but I wonder how long after next Monday they will wait to cover. For example, will most shorts start to cover their positions before MAA or somewhat later but before the first RA approval?

I have zero experience in these matters but am willing to be educated.

Assuming your friend is correct and traders want to protect their 2022 bonuses it's logical to expect the smart ones to start covering Wed or Thurs this week knowing that their trades won't settle until Tuesday the 3rd of January. They're smart enough to know when they can go for it.

I agree with your relative that at some point, those entities holding short positions will have to cover, but I would disagree that the timing will be in the coming days. This tweet ( on Christmas) by the notorious Aussie short seller, John Hempton, would seem to indicate that at least some may be willing to drag this out:

It is obvious as to why.

If you are gullible enough to fall for the $NWBO scam you are gullible enough to fall for others.

Scammers spam there because the place is full of wood ducks.
