RE:Short positions The short positions (being reported) are are quite irrelevant with regard to the big picture. The naked short positions are never reported and only become exposed when an accounting of the all shares takes place at some crucial point in the life of the company. (Such as when voting takes place) It is then that the unreported naked short positions will become exposed when a reconciliation of all legitimate voting outstanding shares takes place. Furthermore, it is well known by the world's investment communities that the TSX venture is one of the most (if not the most) corrupt exchanges on Earth for closing it's eyes to naked short selling. Many American companies which have complained bitterly about it will not buy stock on the venture because of anaemic regulators. I will agree that the forth coming vote represents the best chance to net a whole bunch of naked fish.
