Joe: If they allow anymore good sized buys I would expect those short would then widen the spread between the bid and the ask to discourage buying. Our brokerage firms that are short, even in IRA accounts, will continue to ignore the rules which would require them to attempt to buy and cover their FTD's. Remember these criminals look at slap on the wrist fines by the regulators as a cost of doing business and when you are selling that which does not exist you have an incredibly high profit margin. That is why those short hate cash dividends and tend to shy away from companies that pay them.
Go TEVE!!!
