RE:Trades go from mid 60s to 72 centsThose trades are the result of Buy-in requests from the TSX to cover failed trades, ie Naked Shorts. The Preliminary Buy- in requests come out at 1330 hrs daily and brokerages can offer to sell shares to the TSX to cover the shorts. Today a buy-in request for 1.2+ million shares of SCR was put out at 1330 and Leeds, if I remember correctly, sold 45,000 shares to TSX100 at 1506 hrs. When the Final list was released there were still 834,000 shares outstanding. The seller gets a the last board lot price plus a premium, 7 cents for todays trade. This happens daily. You can see the list at 1330 at tmxmoney.com under the research tab. Funny thing about todays trade is Leeds bought the shares at 1502, sold them at 1506 and pocketed $3140. Haven't seen that before. Its pretty normal for brokerages to short stocks to pay for a financing but I don't know if thats what caused the failed trade here.
