  1. They own the stock they can sell them anytime. Presumably the stock they own is less than 10% so they are not required to report how much stock they owned. Archegos was buying unregulated derivatives so technically their deal with the banks is not related to the company of the stock. It is not insider because it is a private deal between two 3rd party. If you plan to give stocks to your son on his birthday and told your wife and your wife decided to the same. You and your wife is not liable for insider trading.

  2. Short sellers and lenders are not the same entity. Short sellers are the one borrowing the stock. Lenders are the entity that let the shares they owned be borrowed. RH can lend the stocks their customers owned to a hedge funds for a fee. The hedge fund will then short sell that borrowed stock.

  3. reav3rtm naked short selling can be done in two ways. Borrowing a fake stock from market makers or selling the stocks and then paying the penalty for not delivering the sold stock. The second option is on limited time because repeated failure to deliver will get you banned by the clearing house. The first option requires a market maker lending stocks they don't have,

  4. seneca983 It is not debt. If I buy call option from a broker it does not mean I owe them money if they bought a stock as hedge against my call. The potential losses of them owning the stock is their risk on doing business. Yes Hwang has liabilities to pay the bank in the future that he is unable to pay. But you don't count future rent liability of an apartment as debt. They are liabilities but not debt. The difference is that debt the value flows towards you first then in the future cash flow out from you. But in this case cash flow out from Hwang in the future in exchange for potential cash flow going in also in the future.

  5. The short interest report is two weeks behind. So the report for the first two weeks of february will come at the end of February. The short interest on the last two weeks of february will only be reported on the second week of march.

  6. If he is wrong on the timing then he is wrong. The stock market does not reward you on best effort.

  7. Santa Clause Then go short it. In the stock market the only proof that you are right is making a lot of money on your prediction.

  9. Santa Clause If you are too dumb to take account for fees and premium then you are too dumb to be right which means you are to dumb to trade in the stock market.

  10. Gorky D Leverage swap is not debt. The bank owns the underlying stock so theoretically the bank could recover their money by selling the stock. The only problem is that Hwang have concentrated position on key companies so there is massive potential losses when the banks do sell the stock because selling large amount will drop the stock prize. This is where information on the stocks held for swap could have prevented the problem. The banks did not know the swap deals with other banks so they think that the stock they held is small enough that they can liquidate it without losses.

  11. Rok Prešeren That was their plan they meet and agree to unwind the stock position slowly. But Goldman sacks backstabbed them and dump their stock before others could. This forces the other banks to also unload their position to prevent themselves from ending up holding the bag. GSget away with minor losses and they might have end up with profit buy loading in puts before dumping the stocks.

  14. Why would you want to punish the whole community when you can punch the most corrupt in the face.

  15. Time is not the problem it will only kick the can later. The problem is to many stocks sold short. That is why they halt buying only. The short sellers need real stocks to cover their position and the only way they are able to do that without going bankrupt is to stop others from also buying the stocks.

  16. But that would stop the hedge fund from using leverage to manipulate the market. With that rule they are only limited to how much capital they actually have which will be less effective in moving the market for them to gain profits.
