Where can I find the number of shares shorted on a specific stock?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For general shorting information such as the short interest ratio, you can usually go to any website that features a stock quotes service. For example, you can find this information on the Yahoo Finance website in Key Statistics under Share Statistics.
If you are interested in acquiring more detailed information about a specific stock, such as specific numbers about volume, average daily share volume and/or days to cover, there are websites that you can visit that would provide such information free of charge. According to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), all of this data is acquired from broker-dealers as part of the exchange's regulations. However, the specific site you will need to visit will depend on the stock exchange in which the stock that you are seeking information for trades.
For example, if the stock in question is traded on the Nasdaq, you would have to use Nasdaq Trader's Trading Data, where you can find Nasdaq's Monthly Short Interest Tool. If the stock that you are interested in is found on the NYSE, you can check out NYSE Data's NYSE Short Interest Tool.

In a short sale transaction, shares are borrowed from the lender by the short seller and sold in the market. The lender of these shares continues to maintain a long position, hoping the shares will go up in value.
If the lender wants to sell the stock, the implications for the short seller will depend on where the shares were borrowed from - generally either from the brokerage firm's inventory or from the margin account of one of the firm's clients. Margin accounts differ from cash accounts in that they allow the firm to use shares held in these accounts in various ways, including lending them for short sales. If the brokerage firm has taken the shares from its client's account, and that client wishes to sell the stock at some point while the short position is being held, the client is able to do so.
This sale by the client who was lending shares will usually have no effect on the short seller, as the firm will either borrow the shares from another firm or use other shares in its own inventory. For example, if Jack has 100 shares that are lent out to the short seller and Jack now wishes to sell the 100 shares, all he has to do is inform his brokerage firm. The firm will then look in its inventory, and if there are 100 shares, the firm will sell them on the market and put the proceeds into Jack's account. The brokerage firm will now be the one that is owed the shares by the short seller, Jill. However, what could hurt Jill is if the brokerage firm decides that it no longer wants to hold its position in the stock and it is unwilling to continue to lend the shares to her. The brokerage firm has the right to call any short seller to return the shares at any point in time. In this case, Jill the short seller will have to return the shares to the brokerage firm by purchasing them on the market, regardless of whether she ends up incurring a loss or a gain.
If you are the one whose shares are being lent out by your broker to a short seller, your part in the short sale transaction will have no effect on your ability to sell the shares. During the short sale, your shares are the ones currently being designated as lent out by the brokerage firm, but the broker essentially owes you shares. When you want to sell the shares, the broker is required to replace your shares so you may sell them on the market. In our current age of electronic-based shares and transactions, all of this is done without your knowledge and has little effect on the average client.

tommy.....that was part of the last 8k filled 11/24.....its important to everyone considering in buying to read all of it carefully.....do your own dd.....thoughts are we have a few days left before the management makes its announcment on the sale of its assets
The Company’s Management is not prepared to comment at this time on its chances of securing a buyer for either of the “Bouse” or “South
Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties, or both; but is prepared to state that it is not an unlikely possibility at this point, with the price of
Gold trading at all time record highs at this date.
The Company financial situation in the 2009 year rendered the Company’s Management incapable of employing personnel to interact with its
stockholders and to produce costly announcements and other reporting to its stockholders. This has led to extreme negativity and hostility
towards the Company and its Management in the financial community. This is a situation which the Company’s Management would like to see
rectified in the near future.
Management of the Company is not prepared to disclose as to what price it is seeking for the Company’s interests in the “Bouse” or “South
Copperstone” Gold Exploration Properties; nor the provision of any disclosure whatsoever as to the sale terms and conditions which it would
be prepared to accept from any buyer of these Interests. The Company’s Management is of the opinion that Disclosure of this information
would not be in the interest of the Company’s stockholders at this time. Should these circumstances change, Company Management will issue
some guidance to its stockholders in respect of the pricing of these proposed transactions.
Management wishes to stress that there is no guarantee that a suitable and qualified buyer for either “Bouse” or “South Copperstone” will be
found and that the price of Gold is extremely volatile and may not continue to trade at these current high levels and that Gold prices could drop
in value very rapidly in the immediate to near term.
Management of the Company does not wish to; and is in no position to comment on the value of its interest in either the “Bouse” or “South
Copperstone” Gold Exploration Property interests, at this time.
The amount of US$4,285,855.65 (Four million two hundred and eighty five thousand eight hundred and fifty five dollars and sixty five cents)
owed to Loan Note Holders (as detailed in this Filing, plus accrued interest on these Loan Notes) and to other Creditors; will be required to be
deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the Company’s interests in the two Gold Properties.
It is possible that the Company may be successful in settling part or all of the various outstanding Loan Notes into shares of the Company’s
Stock. In this event, the amount of shares outstanding will be substantially increased; this could result in a reduced value per share of the
Company’s Common Stock.
Management of the Company wishes to stress that any and all published and previous valuations of these Gold Exploration Properties should
not in any way imply a current value of these Gold Exploration Properties. These previously published and stated valuations of these Gold
Exploration Properties may well be very significantly lower than previously quoted. These valuations were based solely upon transactions with
third parties which were not concluded by the Company.
