Data Call Technologies (DCLT)

[shajandr]

Short sales during the trading day are NOTT the short interest in a stock, they are intra-day trading artifacts, nott positions.

The only thing that is relevant is the short interest, which are short positions that last more than one trading day and are nott intra-day trading artifacts, butt are investment positions.

And the short interest is reported by FINRA every two weeks (if there are any outstanding short POSITIONS) and can be found here:

One can also access the current short interest directly from FINRA at this official site (just type in DCLT in the search box):

The daily intra-day short volume, which is a meaningless artifact of trading, is explained here

Nope. Those daily numbers are meaningless. Only the first leg of a trade is reported, and that figure represents the ones where a MM went short to handle the trade. In almost all cases, a long entry was made right away to close the trade.

Also, since MM's only match buy and sell orders on the greys, shorting is not possible. And yet those same daily short volume reports on gray market stocks still show shorts. Further proof the reports are meaningless.

The bi-weekly report at OTC Market is the only accurate one...And it showed about 30,000 in short interest, and no fails to deliver.

Shorting of any kind is never a factor with any low priced stock.

So keep posting those meaningless numbers.

Sometimes, the broker selling a block will use short sales if their house account doesn't have the security at the time, then at day end, they fill the short position with a transfer from the block seller's shares to flatten the position and be able to deliver the shares.

HTH.
