LocateStock.com, the premier electronic securities lending company provides revolutionary, real time, hard to borrow liquidity and market data, to hedge funds and professional traders seeking short sale transparency and liquidity. The LocateStock.com suite of products is comprised of two proprietary and unique software platforms, "The Matador" and the "The New York Short Sale Exchange Trader." The electronic platforms enable underserved traders access to a wide array of U.S. domestic securities while providing transparency, liquidity and price discovery in a fully compliant environment that meets all the requisites of Regulation SHO. In March of this year, an online financial news show was launched via www.LocateStock.com that focuses on market news, and also identifies the top five, most frequently located stocks as captured by the Locate Stock Matador system. These securities, or the HIGH FIVE stocks, are determined daily by the company’s proprietary, internal algorithmic calculators. The result is five securities that are the most sought after to borrow, and have proven to be the hottest stocks to short that day. At LOCATESTOCK We are firm believers of eliminating efficiencies in the Securities Lending Industry. For years the Securities Lending Markets have lacked transparency and liquidity. The insufficiency of reliable market data and the introduction of Regulation SHO motivated CEO, John A. Tabacco Jr, to create a more efficient way for Hedge Funds and Traders to locate a stock prior to executing a short sale. With that in mind, LOCATESTOCK.COM was born.   We are one of the world's first electronic securities lending portals that modernizes and simplifies the Securities Finance Industry.   Our software was engineered from the ground up with two specific criteria in mind: 1- Create transparency and liquidity by enabling hedge funds and traders electronic access to U.S. domestic securities.   2-Provide electronic locates with all the critical data required by Regulation SHO.

The most important aspect in Securities Lending is supply, while execution is the most important aspect of trading! Hedge Funds and non-clearing broker dealers whose traders do not utilize the Matador software platform may have to endure tiered allocations, partial locates, or no locate whatsoever from their clearing correspondents.  Their current alternative, as per Regulation SHO, is no execution due to an unsuccessful locate. With the use of the Matador platform, non-clearing broker dealers, hedge funds, or any entity wishing to execute a short sale can enjoy access to a vast supply of U.S. equities in order to receive electronic locates in seconds. LOCATESTOCK.COM is adding a whole new dimension to the Short Sale community.  We are rapidly becoming the premier portal for stock loan data as well as being touted as the answer to Regulation SHO!   Warning: Use of the Matador Platform can become addicting.
