Naked shorting..

[Getitrt2]

C'mon STP; bonk says that stuff is just paranoid thinking and doesn't happen to any great degree.

You have a link for that?

Anyway, that it happens is fairly certain, how widespread it is is anybody's guess, really. IOC has a history of naked shorting, that's not deniable, the shares were years on the RegSHO list and undelivered shares reached a whopping 6M in June 2008. That was no simple defunct settlement system error.

If I remember correctly, bonk said it was down to "only" an AVERAGE of about 70,000 shares PER DAY, with a lot of that probably being related to market making, etc.  AVERAGE PER DAY?!  Sounds like a lot to me.  IMO there should be almost NONE.
