But it is a slow process and depends on many people's desire and willingness to change. Inertia is a factor; regulators can push for change. | |

It is difficult to distinguish between "sorry, your shares have not been delivered because of a paperwork screw up in our back office, we will try again tomorrow" as a legitimate excuse vs a situation where the person has no intention to deliver because they don't have the shares. Those people can use the same excuses to string you along for a while, and hen deliver the shares by stiffing someone else on their delivery. (Sort of like "the check is in the mail" argument I use when I owe money ;) ). | |
