RE:Naked short selling in CanadaNaked short selling. Basically shorting shares that don't even exist. Eric Sprott and Save Canadian Mining, in conjunction with the management of the Venture X, have been trying to get this banned once again like it once was. Its killing the Venture and raising funds for junior exploration companies is difficult to say the least because of these scumbags.. Its criminal, and I've donated to the cause at Save Canadian Mining in the past.
