Very strange - the original post in June mentioned short squeeze was eminent but here we are 4 months later and SOS.
I know nothing about this stuff but is seems:
The shorts CONTROL 1/2 the shares without owning a single one.
FTDs averaging 1/4 of any day's volume
Short's have money and infrastructure and perhaps some nefarious incentive -
MNKD management continues their passive stance
SNY 'educate and they will come' marketing approach
All adds up to little chance of shorts loosening their grip nor squeeze anytime in the foreseeable future.
But boy do I hope I'm wrong!

DEFINITION of 'Short Exempt'
A short sale order in which the uptick rule doesn't apply to the trade. The trade can go through on a down tick, or a downward move in price, where a traditional short order trade has to be done on an uptick, or upward move in price.
BREAKING DOWN 'Short Exempt'
Any order that goes through needs to be marked long, short or short exempt, with short and short exempt being marked with SSH and SSE, respectively. The uptick rule is in place to prevent short sellers from unduly putting downward pressure on a stock with heavy selling volume.

Still don't understand what it means. |

A few years ago all shorts had to be on upticks. It was illegal to put downward pressure on a stock by shorting it below its previous trade. A "tick" refers to the smallest price increment. When I started trading it was 1/8th of a dollar, or more depending on the stock price. Now it's sometimes fractions of a penny. Now it's legal as long as a stock: 1) hasn't fallen by 10%. 2) you have a reasonable belief that you'll be able to borrow the stock 3) remains available to borrow; if you're unable to borrow a stock you must close out your short www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/regsho.htmRegarding the different volume numbers Nasdaq tends to double-count trades as described here: www.nasdaq.com/investing/glossary/v/volume-counting |

Ok well even taking the finra total volume xs 2 or the nasdaq volume divided by 2 they still don't correlate. So, what does the finra volume represent?
