well, i am rather ignorant of the exchange rules used by both the .ob and the .pk, so im glad i didnt just spout.

failure to deliver refers to the t+3 settlement rules- the statement implies short sales have been made without properly locating the borrowed shares. this information would only be known to the back offices of the primary dealer(s) involved. and it would have nothing to do with the ratio comparing shares declared short to total outstanding.

if you would care to share more context of the statement, like its source, perhaps more information could be gleaned, but at present i would consider the statement at best to be meaningless, and at worst deceitful.

as always never trust anything (including this) you read on a message board. best wishes.

actually, the FTD issue would have everything to do with the ratio of shares short/ outstanding, just not 3.6k/24m (.015%) sorry, just wanted to clear that up.

About BUYINS.NET

WWW.BUYINS.NET is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight naked short selling. Naked short selling is the illegal act of short selling a stock when no affirmative determination has been made to locate shares of the stock to hypothecate in connection with the short sale. Buyins.net has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the naked short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted and naked shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short and naked short trades.

BUYINS.NET has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted, www.buyins.net/squeezetrigger.pdf. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 1,400,000,000 short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005, and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005, because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like Buyins.net to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each month's short transactions, BUYINS.NET provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money.

buyins is a subscription service. like all services, their results would be subject to any realistic back testing. to the best of my knowledge, reg sho only applies to the three major us exchanges- adgo.ob is the only company mentioned to not trade on one of these. i will not dispute or comment on the accuracy of information they use for .ob and .pk, but obviously if the exchange is not subject to the settlement restrictions of a reg sho, little incentive exists to settle future FTDs. best wishes.
