Settlement Date Short Interest 8/15/2013 48,726,782 7/31/2013 47,163,928 7/15/2013 46,090,476 6/28/2013 42,943,327 6/14/2013 45,623,460 5/31/2013 45,980,195 5/15/2013 47,335,954 Liane, the results were announced on the 14th and those dates are Settlement dates not Trade dates. The Settlement date is 3 business days after the Trade date. So the 48.7M was at the end of the day on t 8/12. The next short interest reading will have what we are looking for which is scheduled for 8/26. NASDAQ Short Interest Publication Schedule www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=ShortIntPubSch |

No worries! I can't wait to see the next reading. I still speculate it's Deerfield that is (was) driving this lower but there is no way of really knowing for certain. I believe in the data and I'm holding strong to my beliefs and was even able to buy a few more shares today. |

I was looking at the short volume today and noticed the ratio between short and long transactions increased again today. Nearly half of todays volume was attributed to shorts. What I don't understand is why the total volume is only half for all days on the chart below. Is this they way transactions are counted by FINRA? Maybe FINRA counts a sell and a buy transaction as 1 transaction and if the seller is short it goes into the short count column. Does anyone know for sure? Here's the link to the daily short volume: shortvolume.com/Attachment Deleted |

I’m not sure how many of you follow the short interest but I recently started looking into this. Apparently, FINRA makes some attempt to monitor their activity but it’s not clear how or where FINRA gets their data sources. I do know that some trades are “exempt” and are option related. So there are probably ways of hiding data from FINRA. I find it very interesting that the volume today as “reported” to FINRA is significantly lower and is about the lowest in 3 months but their short volume ratio to the overall volume increased again today to nearly 50%. So just looking at the ratio alone is a good indication of what the shorts are up to. But I find it very disturbing that FINRA does not have a complete picture of ALL trades. I think there is something fishy going on today. Here's a 3 month chart that includes today: Attachment DeletedHere's a 1 month chart too: Attachment DeletedYou can actually see the total volume on the 5 day chart so it may be an issue with the charting: Attachment Deleted |
