Jim, I was told by the STGI trader (and confirmed by two other sources) that CMKX is a "non qualifying piggyback" issue, and that MMs cannot buy or short CMKX for a profit. MMs for CMKX can only facilitate trades for investors, and profit from the spread.
Therefore, naked shorting of CMKX is not allowed by MMs.
