I know it's not the most exciting thing to talk about, but Short Exempts are being used maliciously to harm companies, particularly small and mid-cap stocks, and retail NEEDS to know why.

Short Exempts and REGSHO Explained

A brief description of what this video is:

This video explains the Regulation SHO filings which rule how shorting is handled and fraud is dealt with; however, as you'll see in the video, there are MANY loopholes which compound the issue and present an opportunity for fraudsters.

The truth is that market makers and broker dealers continue to abuse the system, and there is clear evidence which is reported by FINRA that goes un-noticed and is, in fact, ignored completely, but retail can use it to their advantage.

Here is how:

Short Exempts are a tool of market makers to fulfill buy orders when they cannot borrow a stock or must short during a downtick, but...

THEY AREN'T DELIVERING THE SHARES WITHIN THE T+6 SETTLEMENT DEADLINE.

They short it to hammer the price & buy back in at a discount.

In situations where the market maker uses short exempts to hammer/control the price, but they can't push the price down, and it continuously rises against them, they are forced to cover those shares in T+6 days from the date of the trade.

After T+4 they become Fails to Deliver.

Once they FTD, the MM only has T+2 days to deliver those shares. They either have to borrow or buy stock and deliver it, or they are restricted on trades and borrowing to short until it is addressed.

If they lose the ability to borrow, they are FORCED TO BUY OUT OF THE MARKET.

Look at tickers $MULN $BKKT $SOS and $BTBT just as a SMALL number of examples of how this fraud persists in the market.

This shit is OUT OF HAND.

When retail sees these short exempts, this is an opportunity to smash MMs in the balls.

The broker-dealers have been fucking us all along, and the market makers facilitate the fraud. They have been partnering up to do this for fucking decades, and nobody is going to do anything about it unless people start taking control of it for themselves.

I'm not telling anybody to buy stock in any of these companies, but what I AM telling people is that if these stocks prices rise within T+6 days in spite of these high short exempts, market makers will get squeezed out of their FTDs within days or weeks.

They punished us in 2008 and I want payback. This is how we hurt them.

Add this information to your analysis and read the REGSHO filings for yourself. Educate yourselves on the market mechanics and understand how to spot their bullshit for what it is.
