Here is mine, PEN is missing on the 24th, obviously an error !
http://www.asx.com.au/data/shortsell.txt
The report is correct. There were no REPORTABLE shares shorted that day.
The arrangement that hangseng is talking about is an agreement between Pala & Citi.
Pala still own the shares, but have lent these shares to Citi (also the nominee holder) for a fee. A bit like renting out your house so that you receive a rental income. You still own the asset, but another party has the right to use your asset as they see fit.
Citi now can do what they want with the shares (in this case short sell) & buy back, returning the share holding at some point to its rightful owner (Pala).
This type of shorting will NOT appear in the ASX records as PALA the owner have not shorted, they have only only lent the shares.
It's an area condoned (via lack of control by ASX).
At some point Citi will need to hand back all shares to Pala & this is what hangseng is talking about that they are not yet finished & hence why el capo is so confident of lower prices
Watching with interest as Blackrock now have a position at 3.6c (when you include option position). It will be 'interesting' to see if/how they work together to each others benefit, as shorting & lowering the price will hurt Blackrocks book position (initially) if it does run as low as elcapo claims.
Finally someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
I will also add Citi has the right then to further "loan" stock to others such as CFD providers and brokers in general, who also sell the stock down.
Those that aren't aware of this type of arrangement only need to look to ASIC rulings on (non) disclosure regarding stock lending agreements, or more correctly "Securities Lending Agreements". This has nothing at all to do with "Reportable ASX Shortsell Stock", of which is transparent. Stock lending agreements require no such disclosure.

Those that care to can look at the original substantial holder agreement after PALA was issued shares. Noting it is reported not by PALA but a law firm on behalf of PALA and then the shares show up as Citi in the top 20 not PALA.
No surprise 4.1c and now 4c has gone and soon 3.9 will be steadily sold into etc until the short selling is over.
As for Blackrock let's see if the shares remain in their name or if they enter into a similar arrangement.
For newbies, non believers and ostriches with their heads firmly stuck in the sand:

Under a typical securities lending agreement, the lender has the right to
recall securities loaned under the agreement. Ordinarily an owner who
wishes to sell the securities placed in a securities lending program first must
wait until those securities are delivered back to the owner.
I don't think thats how it works.
Since citi is selling and pala is the owner, there is still a requirement to disclose. Just like any regular securities lending arrangement.
With a Lance JORC Update and the initial Karoo JORC expected any day now (as per the company telling shareholders at the recent AGM) , to believe sub 3c and even possibly sub 2cents is still on the cards is an interesting thought.
Unless those two imminent announcements are both pretty average in content (not impossible, but difficult to imagine given Blackrock recently paying to get on board), wouldn't the wider market (and Blackrock for that matter) make it hard for the share to be sold down to such levels?
Or, have these imminent announcements been delayed?

Price uptrend break confirmed by the non lagging RSI uptrend break.
RSI back into negative territory below 50

dengo mate, never show a chart on ASF, without volume, and never use an indicator as a buy signal. It may fool the pensioners on HC, but you will encounter problems on ASF.

There is no requirement to disclose as Pala are not actually selling the stock, but they do remain the legal owner. If they sold/disposed of shares under their own right then they must disclose. However Pala hasn't sold any holdings, they merely "loaned" the stock. Citi can then further "loan" the stock to others via securities lending agreements and I am certain they have.
RG 196.87 A short sale transaction must be reported if:
(a) a ‘seller’ makes a sale of section 1020B products to a buyer on a
licensed market in Australia; and
(b) before the time of sale, the seller had entered into or gained the benefit
of a securities lending arrangement; and
(c) at the time of the sale the seller intends that the securities lending
arrangement will ensure that some or all of the section 1020B products
can be vested in the buyer (s1020AB(1)).
Hi Garpal Gumnut
Volume is meaningless in a downtrend & today was a sell signal, (RSI confirming price action).

Thanks K68.
I do not think PEN is a dawg, atm. It has always been a good trading stock, but I would not hold it longterm for quids.
It's a good stock, for me, god help blokes like hangseng who accumulate, if he has.
