A stock can be naked shorted forever unless taken private or the regulators act. This is the only explanation I can offer. In a rising gold mkt TDC should catch some wind.

The offshore entities that are doing most of the naked shorting will likely never be brought to account as they take the money in the shorting process and close shop when under attack. The brokerage dealer who aided them is then on the hook to make good if the stock is still in play.

A steadily increasing share price may force their hand and they may cover or run. How can the share price rise in this environment unless the buyers overwhelm the sellers? Any normal seller would adjust their price higher in a rising gold mkt.

Somehow we are being played.
