RE:Naked Short4. Do you ever notice weird uneven trade lots? Example, someone traded 1,172 shares or an odd lot, but frequently? On the NYSE is is common but I don't think odd lots are allowed on the TSX | Oct 14 | 01:04:33 PM | 4.36 | 1999 | FORM T | |

How to Detect Naked Short Trades There are many tell tale signs that a company is being naked short sold. Do you think your company or investment is under attack? Here is what you should keep your eye out on: 1. Has the stock been on a continual downtrend over the past several months with no material events or known reasons for why it has depreciated? 2. Does the stock see downwards pressure anytime the company outs out a press release? 3. Do you notice any unscrupulous posts or new handles popping in bashing the company, its story or management? It is common for short sellers both regular and naked short sellers to hire bashers and deploy them on the stock message boards and social media. 4. Do you ever notice weird uneven trade lots? Example, someone traded 1,172 shares or an odd lot, but frequently? This is sometimes a way that market makers and short sellers communicate with each other in the marketplace without the evidence of a text message, email or recorded phone call. 5. Are you a company that has gotten phone calls from investors who all of a sudden seem curious in investing in your company? Be wary. We have seen this ploy come out of Germany many times in the past. Traders go short, knock the stock down in the process and come calling for a financing to cover their position. Another illegal tactic but it happens!
