No doubt these "official" shorts are the same naked short conspirators and their close friends and family. Since you know the unregulated and untracked naked shorting will destroy the stock price of any company, who wouldn't collect the guaranteed money resulting from your activities?

The entire financial markets have now been designed to allow banksters and friends to target and manipulate any stock at their whim. The regulators are just a front for the public to think that markets are being monitored, hence the periodic showcase trials of minor individuals while the major manipulators continually go unscathed.

Since gold and silver and their corresponding shares are the nemeses of central banksters, their is no way for sure to determine when their suppression will end. Consider too that the banksters themselves hold much more powerful global positions now than they did even a few short years ago.

Silver shares are currently trading at values not seen since physical silver was at $5. With such extreme divergence, the banksters may allow a bounce soon in the shares to obtain some intermittent profits from their overall suppression scheme. Afterwards the naked shorting will return until the next cycle occurs, marked by new extremes.
