Prepare to be astounded
I believe I can predict to within a few percentage points how many shares of SHLD failed to deliver during the second half of January.
Yet another naked shorting disinformation campaign laid bare
Former business journalist Gary Weiss, who seeks to cover-up the threat and impact of market manipulation via illegal naked short selling, has made Wikipedia a major point of focus.

Nobody had ever considered the DTCC.
