there are many reasons to short. One could be:

the ARU insider(s) with intimate knowledge of exploration

expect the share to move up or a buyout is inevitable.-

Short ARU in the home market;

Simultaneous, go long in the Caymans or even Switzerland;

let things unfold. Use your capital losses in Canada/USA

and enjoy your Cap gains offshore.

The reported short position may well become the cataylst

to nominate the first candidate for the "Celin Dion Award" -

the lady who sings.

Questions remain:

1) when was the short position created first, what price and by whom.

2) anyone has a better insight of how Revenue Canada/CCRA

operates in cases like this for a quick investigation ; afterall

OSC/TSX continue to be silent undoubtedly they are too

close to the Bay Street fraternity and brothers-in crime.

If we can break this thing open by enlisting tax investigators at CCRA, Kinross may ultimately have a fate similar to Lac Minerals. We need our own "Ned-man".
