One thing that make it hard to figure shorts is; I beleive there is no need on a daily reporting basis to report shares returned. We can only go by the aggregate 4 trading days later.
They could be returned by any manner of means below. Its a real go around to confuse us all.
One of my great concerns in this situation is the liquidity of the market maker which we trade under maybe a custodial operator.
I regularly check my settled holdings at computershare (electronically linked to your name in the case of collapse).
There seems always a peice of paper to cover the shortfall in peices of paper until someone runs out of cover and has to buy on market at whatever the cost.
With LTR Liquidity appears falling on daily trade volumes.
Also a short squeeze trigger happens when total borrowed shares are over 10% of FPO but in LTRs case this is not reliable because of the large % holdings locked up by our BOD and Management plus many loyal LTHers
The absolute critical point with LTRs short positions is that any shorts are against the fundamentals of a very strong and very well run company.
To me the short pridicament has been created by treating LTR as an equal to the average of peirs and early shorts where basket carte blanche until a closer inspection has uncovered a very sticky position.
I have been watching the falures of shorts trying to exit via price manipulation and a bigger predicament has eventuated.
