Yes, I've seen forward splits done on a .0001 stock before.

Terrorballs, with that threshold list...

CBAY not being on that list is a "fact" and I will figure out how to add it to an updated version of that earlier history post I made sometime tomorrow. I'm running on fumes right now and must get some sleep.

I think there are many companies that are not on that list that definitely should be on that list. I will call key regulatory authorities tomorrow to discuss with them their process for determining how a stock "actually" makes that list versus what is published. Either the process is broke or there hasn't been as much naked shorting going on as we all have been thinking. I lean towards the process being still broke. I will research and report back what I am told.

That's for October 12th, but CBAY does not appear to be on the list. Which means no covering needs to be done and the O/S probably is actually in the billions.

If we are not on the threshold list going into the 15th, and we later become a threshold security, then they will have 13 days to cover. They wont have 35 days. Where do you get that they will not have to cover just because they aren't on the threshold list for the 12th? Another thing, refresh yourself on what a threshold security needs to be considered 'threshold'.

Regulation SHO defines threshold securities as any equity security of an issuer that is registered under Section 12, or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) and where, for five consecutive settlement days:

there are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more per security; and
the level of fails is equal to at least one-half of one percent of the issuer's total shares outstanding


Wouldn't we need to wait 5 days from the 15th to see if there where grandfathered shorts? (not saying there is shorts, but if we are gonna give out advice to others on the rules, we might want to know what we are saying is right, right?)
