RE: New Short Report Out Agreed, no shorts around. I guess we all owe STVP an apology, lol.
I'm not exactly sure what the definition of insiders by TSX means, even after reading this:
"Definition of "Insider"
Rule 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules (UMIR) defines the term "insider" as a person who is an insider of an issuer for the purpose of applicable securities legislation. Applicable securities legislation generally defines an insider of an issuer as including a director, senior officer or a person who owns, controls or directs 10 per cent or more of the voting rights in an issuer's securities. For further clarification, reference must be made to the securities legislation of every jurisdiction in which the issuer is a reporting issuer or equivalent. Reference should also be made to CSA Staff Notice 55-308 - Questions on Insider Reporting."

As far as I know, only PRE and Sprott (according to an earlier post by I forgot who) has that type of numbers. It's unlikely that PRE will be selling for peanuts profit wise, as their entire stake in OYL costs just a fraction of their yearly earnings. So it has to be Sprott divesting a few hundred thousand of their tens of millions of shares held. A good time to do so yesterday, since daily volumes are usually rather low for a 300M share company.
Found the portfolio of Sprott's funds dated till Dec 2011. Still looking for the updated version:

Sprott Canadian Equity Fund - 15,591,742 shares (page 16)
Sprott All Cap Fund - 160,000 shares (page 57)
