Quote:I'll ask FINRA whether the short volume data from 2010-2011 are still available. That was when the stock was very thinly traded and I was accounted for the whole day's volume sometimes. I still have those shares from 6-7 years ago so I know when I bought them. If the file shows 100% were short volume on the day I bought 100% of the shares, then I have another proof that interpreting it as short sales is misleading.
One thought that occurs to me (because I started posting the thousands of other companies who are in the daily short volume report) is this. If they don't have your old ctix records we could probably find a sub penny stock with little to no daily volume and buy an odd lot for just a couple bucks and see if it comes up 100% short volume for that odd lot.
I bet it will. I saw several 100% volume stocks pop up in just the very few I did to prove my point that this is a systemic issue not a CTIX specific issue.
One thing I will say to Alan and 4kids, is it's a systemic issue not an IPIX issue.
I would be careful of looking at the wizard behind the curtain. You might discover things you don't really want to know.
Here is a quiz:
1) What branch of government controls the federal reserve? Executive, legislative, or judicial?
2) Does the federal reserve print money?
How many of you could answer those questions correctly?
Here are the answers.
1)"The Federal Reserve System considers itself "an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of th..."
2). "In today’s monetary system, both the Fed and commercial banks can create new deposit money. The main difference is that the former will create covered and the latter uncovered money substitutes, but both methods will increase the money supply. The fact that only a small part of money supply growth involves literal printing of banknotes is not relevant to this – what is relevant is that both banknotes and deposit money are accepted as final means of payment. It is therefore perfectly fine to refer to the process as “printing money”.

So you see, your both focusing on a tiny piece of bark on a small limb of a small sapling in a massive forest.
What the hell is an uncovered money substitute?
Is the Fed "printing" naked money?
So what are you gonna do about that?
