When I used the term "tremendously large" I was thinking "more than 1-2% of the outstanding shares". The citing of companies like AMBS and Overstock made me think we were dealing with a larger percentage than that - as they were (100%+ in Overstock, Massive FTDs in AMBS). If the hidden iceberg is < 2% of outstanding shares or if you consider "tremendously large" covering on the CUSIP announcement to be < 2% of outstanding shares then I apologize for using an incorrect term.
I should have stated "a number commensurate with catastrophic naked shorting - 5-10%+ of the outstanding shares, for example".
Really disappointing if the hidden iceberg is only 1-2M shares. Also, does that include the legal shorts who had to cover and exchange? If so, there proved to be "virtually no" naked shorts, as in "< 1% of the outstanding shares" for your clarity.
If so, I'll post no more on the subject as it obviously is so small an amount that it is no longer worth discussing.
