Stop Predatory Short Selling
In 2012 IIROC and CSA removed a trading rule known as the “tick test”, which restricted short selling to neutral or sales to positive price changes at the time of the sale. These changes were applied not only to the main listing venue of TSX Venture Exchange, but are equally applied across all Canadian trading venues, of which there are 14 today, reducing TSX Venture’s ability to effect any change. Since removal of the tick test, the Canadian markets have evolved, and there now exists a dynamic where short selling activities, high frequency trading, and algorithms are exploiting the lack of a tick test to the detriment of Canada’s junior markets. We call on CSA and IIROC to evaluate re-instituting the tick test.
Save Canadian Mining is a movement to return market rules to the fair and transparent standard that helped deliver prosperity for over 142 years. Together, we can save Canadian mining.
In The News
Fact #1
Mining financing has been on a steady decline since this rule change happened (specifically looking at Chart 2.4 on page 16 and Chart 3.1 here on page 26).
While commodity markets have been challenged, the combination of 14 different trading venues, and elimination of the tick test has created an environment that is difficult for TSXV issuers to build support of predominately retail shareholders who feel that algorithms are able to get "an inside track".
Fact #2
Oreninc's index demonstrates that this lack of financing activity is also contributing to a divergence between commodity prices, and the equities of junior commodity companies as junior companies have been unable to finance and continue exploration.
Fact #3
Canada's resources markets are world leaders by share of number of listed companies, number of financings, dollar value raised, and ethical standards. The removal of the tick-test, and creation of alternative trading markets is something that many other jurisdictions have done, and this is an opportunity for Canada to lead in supporting junior markets through our globally unique platform, the TSX Venture Exchange by re-instituting the tick test and allowing TSX Venture issuers to trade on their home market only (the TSXV).
