I've never seen any proof, only conjecture, that there are no naked short positions
You have it backwards!
There is ZERO proof that there are any naked shorts! Actually 100% of evidence (no FTDs, published short numbers, DTCC holdings, TA, the company has never even hinted that there are any, etc.) says that there are no naked shorts!
Anyone asking for more proof than that shouldn't be trading stocks!
Proof has been posted 7000 times here over the years. Youve been here long enough to have seen it. You just dont want to believe it and thats your right.
Just dont say its never been posted because it has.
