geo , re: 'curbs'

Purely in my opinion , no , I don't think it will impact TIV's share price as I never have thought there was all that much naked shorting going on with TIV ... but who knows lol.

As we've mentioned before , to get on the SHO list would only require an increase of a few thousand shares in a 'naked short' position. TIV could sit on the 'bubble' for periods of time , with a little over 100K shares 'FTD' shares but not over TIV's SHO threshold (1/2 of 1% of outstanding as I recall). Then that slight increase would push it over the threshold.

So , unless something has changed and unless we now have a HUGE naked short position ... potential market-wide 'curbs' probably won't require enough forced covering to do much to the PPS.

But hey ... we've got over 4MM documented shares short and some large anticipated production. My guess is there's plenty of rocket fuel , again , if TIV can just light it with something.
