In the years I have been doing this I have been told the Finra reporting guidelines state only short sale trades are to be listed in the short volume (FINRA Reg Sho reporting/formatting guidelines, as well as phone calls for confirmation). It doesn't account for short covering trades. The numbers we are missing are the covers, so we just don't have the accurate short interest numbers, and if they counted them then they would end up counting some of the trades twice as much as they actually should. In all reality, a good number of those trades may have been covered during the day yesterday, without our knowledge, though. A short cover would not be considered a short sale trade (because it is a buy up of shorted shares, not a sale), and thus not be listed. (Please do let me know how they would be able to list a buy to cover under short sale trades, though. I have been trading for years under some wrong presumptions, if not, but I am almost positive buys to cover may not be listed with short sales in FINRA reporting standards. Thank you!) The other big problem is the short sale trades usually include a large percentage of MM short sales for liquidity trades, which would usually mean the ongoing shuffle up until the 15th or 1st of the month (remember that hefty selloff and the 35 MM share buy right on the ask with no upward price movement? - my best guess was MM to MM trade if there is still no company dilution). However, considering the 1st is on Thursday, they are running very low on time before they get caught in that reporting trap in which they get slapped with some nice fines. At the very least, on the 1st we will get an accurate depiction of short interest being carried on this thing. Oh! Can you PM Meredith or Casey's number? Still going to need that. I want to see if we can actually get some major progress on this technology. If they have luck with cartilage rejuvenation, I am wondering if they have tried anything with intervertebral discs. I have 9 severely damaged discs in my back, and possibly 4 in my neck (need another MRI), and there aren't a whole lot of good options for me at the moment. *Apologies for the sidetrack. I am seriously very curious just what the applications of TCEL's treatment extend into.
