(NASAA) today announced plans to host a public forum to explore possible market manipulation through naked short selling activity. The âNASAA Listensâ Forum is scheduled for November 30 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Paris Ballroom of the Sofitel Lafayette Square Hotel, 806 15th Street NW, in Washington, D.C. âNASAA commends the SEC for its efforts to address short-selling abuses through Regulation SHO and we encourage the agency to consider additional measures to limit the detrimental impact of abusive naked short-selling of the stock of small businesses, the entrepreneurial engines that drive our nationâs economy,â said NASAA President and Wisconsin Securities Administrator Patricia D. Struck. Naked short selling refers to a stock transaction in which the seller agrees to sell shares of stock that he or she neither owns nor has borrowed in time to make delivery to the buyer within the standard three-day settlement period. When done in large volumes, this sales tactic can be used to manipulate a stockâs share value while allowing the seller to profit. The SEC adopted Regulation SHO in 2004 to update short-sale regulation and, in part, to address problems associated with abusive naked short selling transactions. Industry compliance with Reg SHO began in January and in May the SEC launched a pilot program to determine the effectiveness of the regulation. âSince the pilot program has reached the midway point, we believe this Forum offers a timely opportunity for a thorough discussion of the effectiveness of Regulation SHO from a variety of perspectives,â Struck said. The âNASAA Listensâ Forum will bring together a panel of leading financial and academic experts to examine problems associated with abusive naked short selling and the impact of Regulation SHO on naked short-selling transactions. The Forum is free and open to the public on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve a seat, please contact Lonnie Martin, at 202-737-0900 or lm@nasaa.org, by November 28. NASAA is the oldest international organization devoted to investor protection. Its membership consists of the securities administrators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, and Mexico.

Thanks for keeping us informed FlyTiger but while I still have my 06 calls (more or less accepted the loss on them at this point and cashed in some puts that helped offset them a little) I can't help feeling that these naked shorts are like Rove in that they have some escape hatch that they can duck through should the water get too hot. Why are the major holders waiting until now to ask for their certs and frankly who cares as the naked shorters don't concern themselves with certificats, if they did it wouldn't be naked shorting (I still think they are using the offsetting puts loophole and are in cahoots with some MM).
Maybe they didn't ask for the certs. It is possible they saw the State 11/30 meeting date and panicked and bought in.
OSTK, MSO, TZOO, RNOW,......... Do I hear footsteps? Is that, Mr. Net Cap Fail? These asshole hedgefund scumbags are going to kill us all. And Flytiger is not making this up.
Patrick, Thanks for the link. But I don't read "The Mormon Times"... How is the separation of Church and State coming along in Utah? Since you like to read so much, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state
