(Commissioner); Cox, Christopher Cc: Bondi, Bradley J.; Broadbent, Christian L.; Daly, Justin D.; Ramarathnam, Smeeta S.; Uhlmann, Peter Subject: Impact of Short-Sale Ban Removal Below you will find information from a manager of a large hedge fund in response to my query about what impact he expects from the removal of the ban: “We have a dataset which tracks short interest on a daily basis. It is from a UK firm which compiles the data from custodians, prime brokers, etc. The data is highly correlated with the actual level of short interest (cross-sectional and time-series correlations are above 0.90). According to this dataset, the level of short interest has dropped 2% for the restricted financials during September 18 through September 29. We don’t expect a big uptick in short interest once the ban is lifted, in part due to the fact that many of us did not take our shorts down despite the decline in stocks over this period. Indeed, once the ban is lifted, we will actually buy the stocks due to lower deltas. We conferred with another large hedge fund and they also held the same level of shorts post-ban.” 6
To: Jim Overdahl From: Tim McCormick Date: October 16, 2008 <strong>OEA</strong> DRAFT – INTERNAL OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS DRAFT MEMORANDUM Re: “Gaming” to Prevent Stocks from Appearing on the Threshold List This memo summarizes <strong>OEA</strong>’s analysis of potentially manipulative patterns in the closeout of fails in order to prevent a stock from appearing on the threshold list. In this memo, we specifically look at the 9 stocks that Mark Mitchell claimed experienced threshold list manipulation. We find no evidence supportive of his claims. We know from prior work that many fails tend to be short-lived. In fact, about 86.5% of fail positions are closed out within 4 days of occurring. The threshold list criteria of Regulation SHO attempts to identify securities with large fails that persist for longer than 4 days. Under Rule 203, stocks with large fails that persist for longer than 4 days are deemed to have a problem with fails that require increased regulation. Therefore, it is certainly possible that persons could be involved in a pattern of fails and close-outs in order to avoid the increased regulatory requirements of the threshold list. On the other hand, it may be difficult for one clearing firm to manipulate the threshold list because they may be closing out their fails at the same time that another clearing firm creates a new fail. So, the aggregate fails at the NSCC are not readily controllable by a single clearing firm, except perhaps when a single clearing firm has a large and dominant fail position at the NSCC. Further, since clearing firms tend to clear for multiple broker dealers it would be difficult for one broker dealer or one trader to control the aggregate fails at the NSCC for a security. We note that the data we have on fails does not allow us to know intent. That is, a fails position that disappears after 4 straight days may simply be due to the normal course of business rather than any gaming strategy. In light of this constraint, the best approach we have is to attempt to detect a pattern of fails - above the threshold list criteria of 0.5% of shares outstanding for 4 days, then below 0.5% for a day or two, then above 0.5% for 4 days, then below 0.5% for a day or two and so on. The more repeats of the above-belowabove-below pattern, the more confidence we have that the pattern of fails is not driven by normal close-out activity. Also, if someone was gaming the threshold list, they would want to take full advantage of the five consecutive day threshold criteria of 0.5%. 1 3/5/2010
