turr> have some affect on the shorts being able to borrow the shares they need to manipulate the share price. Is that the reason for the low volume.

probably, yes -- I think this would be more likely than not to be "a" reason (vs. "the" reason).

remember, September is historically the worst month for the markets.

too bad the new TMX same-day short sale trading reports only include tracking for instruments that are composite members.

that the shorties are resorting to lies and misdirection on SA also gives an indication of their discomfort.

I'd be delighted to see forced buy-ins every session.

burn!

GLAL,
