adanac, the numbers you post are inaccurate. I guess if you are trying to make it look like 100% of all pyct trades are completed at or before 30 seconds....but as proven by the SEC that is not the case... they track the trades that are all reported up through the DTC and trading channels.... if there are any that are unmatched after 3 days they show up as FTDs (Failure to Delivers)
So, your report is basically incorrect and therefore invalid when it comes to trying to support any silly shorting theory.
You comment: "I don't have access to that number, as it GOES UP almost every day" is pure comedy...since you have no clue about how many shares actually settle...you claim it goes up daily yet you claim to not have access to that number >>>>>> Hmmmm then you really can't tell if it goes up at all and should basically not say anything about it.(since you admit to not don't know anything about that number)
So, your posting about unmatched trades before 30 seconds turns out to be just trivial since you don't care to report about them after the 30 seconds.
Here is a clue...they are 100% matched...NO shorts... SEC records back this up:
