RE:RE:RE:Canadian Banks Make $Billions off Naked Short SalesThanks Frank, It would be too nerve racking for me. I can barely figure out what 2-way collars are in options/future trading as a way to lock in an "in the money" price range and hedge against downside price movements but I see that bte employs 3-way collars (whatever they are) in their futures contracts. I'll leave the options stuff to the big banks and much smarter people. But you make a great point. If you can move share prices by buying calls and puts in sufficient volume then that would support a strategy involving naked shorts. Investors would see a huge volume of puts betting against a stock creating negative sentiment. What a game. The great casino. Overall, the house always wins.
