It's difficult enough to get the data on short interest that can be copied from a site, to do much better you would need to see the MM transactions. Especially on the OTC. There use to be more sites that you could track even the price transaction a block was shorted. Don't think we can access that anymore. Not in my shortcuts anyway. Maybe the DTCC? No idea anymore.
Simply DAILY Vs. cumulative that we see posted on NASDAQ on a 15 day period for the big boards. I think the site Karin used is for a daily, not an average or cumulative. I didn't "eat" much into it since I was more into the narrative and the overall point she was making. Another useful resource though. If I confused you, try reading Waverunner1's answer again. He made sense to me. otcshortreports and shortsqueeze should be looked at separately.

Speaking of shorts, I don't understand your point. Please explain.

Nice article. FWIW I'm not sure you are using the short data correctly.....you are initially looking at the change in cumulative short interest and dividing that by number of trading days to come up with a daily average over the period but then you are comparing that to daily short figures. The issue here is that most of the shorting is done on a daily basis and not held overnight, hence large daily figures but not much change in the cumulative short interest at each reporting period. My hunch is that the daily figures are fairly similar and consistent in the months prior to the dates given in the chart you posted. Do you have that data?

(This is definitely not meant to suggest there wasn't manipulative short selling around the previous SA articles, just that it can be very difficult to decipher).
