I think what's dodgy is the two lists are not comparing apples with apples. It looks like the list on 19 September only includes apples whereas the one on 22 September has bananas, oranges and strawberries included.
The basis of the list as at 22 September appears from the link to the ASX website to be different to the basis of lists compiled previously (which may explain why so many shares have actually gone up despite the ban on shorts). I'm not sure exactly what the differences are but the website says it includes covered and naked shorts and ETO's exercised (incl positions in existence prior to 22 September). I'm pretty sure it previously made no mention of ETO's nor specified covered v naked shorts.
