creapingman .... Naked Shorting is getting out of control. That's why the SEC is having all these Hearings & Investigations into the matter. Each year millions of investors lose money due to those illegal shorting. With the New SEC Rules effective as of 11-30-2012, hope that will help. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=80124596
