Fair enough. In case you missed it I actually tried to test the "theory" by asking management to do a cusip as well if they ever did a name change (Cellceutix was hard to pronounce).

Management replied with (paraphrasing). (I'll run the idea by our lawyers)

So, I assume the lawyers said it would indeed expose "naked shorts" if they were there.

It was a unique chance to actually "test" the theory.

It fell flat on it's face.

I certainly believe 3 days to report non delivery is an antiquated time frame now (HFT happens in fractions of a second for example) so that should be changed.

I'm serious though when I say I will do exactly what Alan does if I ever start shorting a stock.

It scares those who don't understand it and it causes conflicts that occupy the message boards by discussing "shorts" nonstop.

The irony of this very post I am writing is not lost on me by the way!
