The brothers of Delta House just passed a once-prominent trader (Accountant For Jesus) on our trader watchlist. Our lifetime ranking did not change, however. The Accountant For Jesus portfolio fluctuates in value daily and appears on the trader watchlist but we could not find it in the lifetime rankings and it apparently did not influence our lifetime ranking.
Do zombie points continue to hold assets and experience profit and loss, and to appear on trader watchists, yet are invisible to the lifetime rankings?
Also, we just noticed that shorting shares does not appear to influence reported share activity volumes -- for example, shorted shares do not appear to be counted toward subscriptions thresholds for newly issued securities. How can shorted (borrowed) shares exceed held-long shares in volume? Do shorted shares affect price movements? Are covering transactions handled similarly?
Thank you.
