So, you'll have to spell out what you think this means to ignoramuses like myself.

Loan rate continues to drop, now down to 29.625% at Fidelity. Hard to justify the interest rate dropping with the number of shares short at an all time high and shares classified as “hard to borrow”. "hard to borrow" must have a pretty low threshold. Schwab returned about 1/3 of my shares a few weeks ago, so those are shares setting available to borrow. They are now only paying 28%.

Hard to justify the interest rate dropping with the number of shares short at an all time high and shares classified as “hard to borrow”. 11 million shares (or more?) were recently delivered. I'm betting most of those have found their way to being available to short. It will take good news to move the needle IMO. I'm betting a run up on good news will have even more shorts pile on, and that might raise the load rate.

29.25% at Fidelity today. 27.125% this morning at Fidelity. So shorts are leaking out and the longs are not taking hints...

27.125% this morning at Fidelity. So shorts are leaking out and the longs are not taking hints... I haven't looked at the numbers, but I think it is more likely the recent dilution. There are just more shares available.

I agree. From last numbers reported, it appears shorts are more prevalent than ever before.

29.25% at Fidelity today. 27.125% this morning at Fidelity. Down again to 26.875%, and shares not been returned. With interest rates dropping, no urgency for shorts to close positions.

I triple checked these numbers so I know it is correct. Loan rate increased from 24% to 27.5% today.

Loan rate going up is good news. Scarcity of shares means shorts are running out of ammunition to keep driving the price down
