Naked short selling is illegal which is total different from legal short selling. The Pink Sheet report of Zero Short Postions has no bearing on the number of illegal naked short postions that could be very big in Silverado stock. Time will tell how big ithe postion could be when they are forced to cover $$$

If you have time, I would listen to these interviews from Jim Paplava's website to review illegal naked short selling.

Just remember,

all those big gold nuggets Silverado has discovered so far over the past years do tell a story. A story of wealth to tapped into and Tom B. did mention in one of earlier earlier NI43-101 reports that the original source is close by... I think he said they could have originated from Mary's East.

Carbon Dating, close to gold lode source,

Thomas K. Bundtzen ("Bundtzen") of Pacific Rim Geological Consulting Inc., the independent mining consultant commissioned by the Company to prepare a NI 43-101 Technical Report. Bundtzen has over 35 years of experience.

(excerpts)
"The radiocarbon age dates from placer deposit imply that there has
not been much time between erosion of the hardrock gold source to
creation of the placer"...."Hence the lode source creating the
placers may be more-or-less intact. Secondly, the Mary's East deposit
is a colluvial deposit with very coarse gold, which implies that the
lode source is very proximal to this area."

HOLE# 08SH25 shows 2.86oz of GOLD/TON

I'd say that Silverado stock is worth a whole lot more than the current price. I'm not selling one single share any time soon
