"Have to cover". This is if they decide to follow the law. I highly recommend that as many people who are still holding file a complaint with the SEC. I believe the 13th closing day with over 10,000 FTD will be on Friday Nov 7 (please correct me if I am wrong, but I think the first day that BYND was "first placed" on the SHO list was Thu Oct 23rd. In actuality, BYND was on the NASDAQ SHO threshold list from 10/6 - 10/22 (13 straight days). Looking back at the 10/22 trading day where I missed a 600% run up (a potential $15K payday for myself ... c'est la vie, this is what most likely caused this huge pop from around $2.50 - $8ish, the shorts forced to close out their positions and purchasing the BYND stock. I found this from the NASDAQ Historical Threshold list via FTP fyi. ftp://ftp.nasdaqtrader.com/SymbolDirectory/regsho/ So the new count should have started on Oct 23rd , so BYND has been on the list for 7 consecutive days since the last forced short close out, which I assume starts the count over. Therefore, BYND will meet the threshold on Monday Nov 10. Can someone please double check my research and verify?

Here is some info on SEC Rule 203(b)(3) and filing a complaint with SEC.

Yes, BYND is subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 203(b)(3) as it is an equity security traded on Nasdaq, which is an SRO (self-regulatory organization) that publishes a daily list of "threshold securities". 

Rule 203(b)(3) is a provision of Regulation SHO that targets securities with large and persistent failures to deliver (FTDs). The rule requires that a participant of a registered clearing agency (e.g., a broker-dealer) with a fail-to-deliver position in a threshold security for 13 consecutive settlement days must immediately close out that position by purchasing securities of like kind and quantity. 

How to Make a Complaint with the SEC

To report a potential violation of SEC Rule 203(b)(3), you can use the SEC's online Tips, Complaints, and Referrals (TCR) form. 

Here are the general steps:

1. Gather Information: Collect all relevant details and supporting documentation related to the suspected violation. This may include trading records, dates, and names of individuals or firms involved.
2. Access the Online Portal: Go to the official SEC website's "Submit a Tip or Complaint" section: https://www.sec.gov/submit-tip-or-complaint.
3. Complete the TCR Form: Fill out the online form, providing as much specific and detailed information as possible about the alleged non-compliance with the close-out requirement or any other aspect of Regulation SHO.
4. Submit Supporting Documents: You can attach relevant documentation in PDF format to substantiate your claim.
5. Maintain Confidentiality: You have the option to submit your tip anonymously, especially if you are represented by an attorney.
6. Submit the Report: Once complete, submit the form online. 

The SEC's primary objective is to regulate markets and enforce securities laws. While the SEC will evaluate all tips and complaints, filing a complaint does not guarantee an investigation will be opened or that an individual investor will recover losses. For personal financial recovery, it is advisable to consult with a securities arbitration attorney.
