Kemo, those new rules are for the "pink sheets" that trade over the counter via floor brokers in New York. Any company that traded on these pink sheets could have been exposed to this naked strategy. On SLI nr,s it shows we have a symbol on the pink sheet exchange, SELSF. Its possible we could have been manipulated on that exchange, but if there is too much of a disconnect between that sp and the TSX sp, it would be a dead give away. So, for someone trying to naked short us, even though its illegal in Canada, they would also have to nakedly short us on the TSX to make it worth while for them.
This is my understanding of how it works, but I may not be entirely right on the exchange connects.
