According to shortsqueeze.com LDK short interest is 15.3 million
approximately half of the float. Do you think that this could have the
same effect on LDK as on the financials? Could be the trigger we are
looking for.

is ldk 20th stock on that list?

I would imagine there are lots of good old American companies that
would be higher on 'the list' however, if it is extended to the entire
market then LDK would be covered eventually.

For comparison FNM had 15% short interest of float and it's share
price has increased 20% since the short protection was implemented by
the SEC. This is a VAST over simplification of all the things
involved, and FNM and LDK are extremely different (thank goodness),
but if the SEC chairman says that this is what they intend, I would
say thats good news for LDK longs.

the size of the float will tell the difference... FNM and the
financials have so many shares outstanding, and daytraders rotating in
and out, funds getting some money back... (see BAC)..
LDK float is tiny, especially with Peng owning 70% of the shares...
this could be huge for LDK.
I swear to God I was going to log on right now and post an obvious
"fantasy scenario" in which the SEC announced no more naked shorts
marketwide... in addition to Pichel being named as under investigation
for manipulation/illegal tactics/insider selling... and LDK announcing
that the first plant was operational...
and what do i see? 1 out of 3!

This is great news! It pays to write to Obama. Energy creating and
saving devices stock should never be shorted when we are in an energy
crisis.

It would probably pay more to write your local representative... or
your senator who is not in a re-election year...
