Things have never looked so good for EIGH longs! Congrats!

is there an accepatable level of stealing or naked shorting?

Yes. Reg SHO describes it as the "threshold".

Maybe Mel can give all of the Den faithful another "group hug" after they find out they can no longer trade their certs at all. That should make it feel better. Kinda like kissing a boo-boo, huh?

great post, sums up the issue at hand pretty succinctly

Everything must be traded by physical cert as per the comment below from the Senior Director of Compliance at Etrade. So there should not be any fails or shorts in eigh.pk.

So yes somebody call the cops. 1 share, 17,100 shares, 30,034 shares or 43 million shares; is there an acceptable level of stealing or naked shorting?

And a share imbalance is not the difference between fails to deliver and fails to receive. lololissimo!!!

It is the difference between what shareholders hold in their accounts and what the broker dealer holds in their vault in street name on behalf of shareholders.

And we are about to see how big that imbalance is for Etrade.

If Etrade is short in a stock that must be matched up by physical certificate, that would suggest a very big problem for Etrade.
