The Math of Naked Shorting

How this works:  The naked shorter has illegally sold 3M shares at $.075.   So he has $225,000 in his illegal brokerage account.   BUT if he is force to cover it costs him $1.25 million to buy back those shares.........so net........he loses $1m.   What is he betting on?  The stock collapses to $.05 and he buys back our frightened shareholders shares for a net $.025 profit, i.e. he makes $.025 x 3M = $75,000.  Not bad............since he hasn't had to put up a dime (yet) and it works for most beaten down TSX-V companies.  But he hasn't looked at our web-site.   GOOD LUCK TO HIM!!   I'll keep buying more.   A no brainer.  Once the 400,000 shares are gone, which are stupidly offered at $.085.........there are no more cheap shares to buy.  HE IS TRAPPED.  My advice........those sell orders at $.085 are fools...........pull those sell orders and he is a dead duck.  PANIC is about to set in.  Eric Sprott and others believe naked shorting is a multi-trillion dollar scam business.  Computers are cheap to program and run.

I approve of this short squeeze campaign and will buy more VCT this week.   This practice has destroyed the small stocks on the TSX-V Exchange.  The Exchange happily collects its fees, but lets these companies suffer greatly by illegal shorting.  TYPICAL!!
