Can someone explain then as to why FINRA would publish these "useless" numbers on a daily basis? What would the point be if they have no value or are "meaningless". We have many well informed, well intentioned investors here with the same goals in mind vis a vis IPIX. Is there any way we can come to a consensus about the meaning/validity of Alan's daily numbers? For now, I'm accepting the premise that naked shorting does exist and is being permeated on our stock by a group or groups that remain unknown to us. I also believe that their efforts are futile and the science of IPIX will prevail.
