Harryx1 has been posting the daily short information on StockTwits for some time. See below. I can’t post it as well as Harryx1 does. I believe it deserves its own thread. It is amazing to me how much of the daily volume is short selling. I am surprised the shorts haven’t just dropped the price to zero considering how much selling is going on. For those that say the “Market” has spoken when it comes to the low share price, I say hogwash. There is no fair “market” weighing in on this stock. There is a constant, never ending selling of shares on this stock. It amazing me that the shorts can get away with it so blatantly everyday. I wonder how any company survives the constant attack once shorts take an interest in a stock. It is why young companies better make sure they have plenty of money in the bank because the shorts will ensure that they wont be able to raise any on the open market at a reasonable stock price. What a crime.

www.volumebot.com/why-short-volume-is-important/Volumebot helps ordinary investors gauge market maker sentiment by displaying daily short volume as reported by FINRA. We aggregate all of the the short volume data and total volume data ( but not short exempt volume due to its small size) reported by FINRA from ADF, FINRA; NASDAQ TRF, FINRA NYSE TRF; and ORF and display it in a simple chart and table format. Please note that due to the fact that not all volume is reported to FINRA, our total volumes will often be considerably smaller than the volumes listed on Yahoo or Google Finance.

Okay, just so people don't freak out too much the total volume numbers are roughly twice those shown above. Therefore, the short percentage numbers should be halved. |

Please note that due to the fact that not all volume is reported to FINRA, our total volumes will often be considerably smaller than the volumes listed on Yahoo or Google Finance. That is a really good link and I would suggest people should read it if they want to understand short selling data. Daily short volume, as reported by FINRA, is very misunderstood. Most people think daily short volume is just that — the volume that bearish investors put on to add to their short positions. A short glance at the change for total short positions reported bimonthly to the NASDAQ debunks that belief. Short volume isn’t the same as short interest.
In truth, much of the short volume is due to market makers selling into the market a few fractions of a second/minute/hour before they close their position by executing a broker order. Due to the fact that market makers cover many of their positions seconds later, much of the short volume isn’t necessarily an indication of useful bearishness. The fact that a market maker is willing to sell and cover seconds later doesn’t do an investor holding the stock for the long term any good. The market maker could be bullish on the stock long term, and still be willing to short temporarily to satisfy a client request. Similarly, many market makers often have to go short in a fast market in order to fulfill their job of providing liquidity. Other market makers will widen their bid ask prices enough to get out of that scenario.
Do read the rest of the article though. |

Interesting data from Volumebot for today as reported to FINRA. You will notice that the total volume from Volumebot is less than the total volume for the day. This is true because Volumebot does not get all data of the trades for the day. However, I believe this data provides insight into what the shorts are up to.
Todays data:
Short Volume: 18,518,547
Total Volume: 28,582,331
Short %: 64.79%
We nearly doubled in price today with short volume at 65%. To me, this means that the shorts were sticking their thumbs and toes into the dam today to prevent it from collapsing. What happens when the short conviction evaporates and we have a huge volume day like today with no shorting? Could the end for shorts be near? I sure hope so.

I suspect you're correct in your analysis CCI. AH activity would seem to also indicate that tomorrow could be another stellar day. We'll see if that happens and if the short volume keeps pace. Mahalo for posting this.

I've always assumed that short volume included covering, making the short % not really a useful number for determining if our short interest is going up or down.
Am I wrong?

You know, that is a good question. I don’t think the short number in his case includes covering as that is just buying. But I don’t know for sure. I made the assumption that short volume is selling the stock short. |

With the market down and MNKD going up more people are receiving margin calls. Squeeze:-)

As you can see from this morning’s action, the shorts have not gone anywhere. Yesterday’s drop from the highs was mostly due to the shorts hitting the price hard along with day trader’s taking profit.
Here are yesterday’s numbers from Volumebot:
Date: 9/5/18
Short Volume: 25,150,013
Total Volume: 40,875,659
Percent Short Volume: 61.53%
In my opinion, the shorts took a lesson from the last run up to $6.71 which appeared to catch them off guard. That is why they hit back so hard yesterday and so quickly before things got out of hand. However, what is different this time is materially great news for the company in regards to the TreT partnership. MannKind is in a substantially better financial and market credibility position now. It will be interesting to see how long the shorts can maintain the price pressure if more and more investors jump in.

If more and more shorts are piling on why is the borrow rate still going down at Schwab and fidelity. To me that means there still is not a demand for overnight shorting. |

It appears to me that there are more shares to borrow against, thus the low borrow rate. The outstanding share number is up to 153 million now. |

It appears to me that there are more shares to borrow against, thus the low borrow rate. The outstanding share number is up to 153 million now. So we can agree that if the site metrics you are quoting are accurate the short interest reported at the end of the month for trades in the first half of sept 2018 should rise substantially. At least 10 million shares? I think that will only happen if they discussed at pipe funding at lunch during the conference which would not be a bad idea to secure cash for a longer runway. Personally my opinion is the site you are using is giving the total trades at the bid versus trades at the ask. They are lumping all transactions at the bid as short transactions. I would just call it sells more that new short positions. |
