yield-have you not read the asx short sell list,please dont post it advertises your complete ignorance,your post castes extreme doubt on the integrity of mof and macquarie,scandalous conjecture on your behalf without the support of ,well anything,it is a post full of ignorant rubbish.
the asx post a short sell list http://www.asx.com.au/data/shortsell.txt, and contrary to all you state, the list is now 6 pages long it was only 4,if anyone would like to verify the shorting of banks etc just check the list,its an official list ,however the unofficial list is even longer.
but you would need a live platform to watch actual trades taking place,you would need to be able to break trades down to groupings,you would also need to strip out all special crossings,and ignore opening and closing prices.
you would have to closely observe the mechanics of shorting, you might explore the uptick rule,the false rally etc etc etc.
mof are unlikely to go broke should they ,we will all probably have our choice of soup queues.
so please ,i post genralities to provoke thought not a spontaneous retrieval from some garbage bin.
oh ,if they tank i will probably trade,at present i am happy to hold for the lt,but remain ever vigilant,and would applaud mof if they suspended dividends for 12months or more
