PC - The MM's report executed daily short sales to FINRA. This data is presented through FINRA's Daily Files

http://regsho.finra.org/regsho-Index.html

and through the OTC Short Report via a third party with access to FINRA's data feed. I prefer this reporting format.

MM's aren't reporting sales that they want people to believe are short sales in order to hide baby bid whacks. That would be illegal.

ORF Regulation SHO

Pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission request, FINRA has agreed to make reported short sale trade data publicly available. FINRA will make one type of files available: Daily Short Sale Volume Files.

The Daily Short Sale Volume Files provide aggregated volume by security on all short sale trades executed and reported to a FINRA reporting facility during normal market hours.

It is what it is dude. No one is misrepresenting the term "short interest." Experienced traders know that "short interest" is the cumulative number of short sales that need to be settled, and that these open short positions are reported bi-weekly.

FINRA requires firms to report short interest positions in all customer and proprietary accounts in all equity securities twice a month.

The latest settlement report for CGRA is dated July 29. It indicates short interest of 98,739. Some have misinterpreted this number to be the sum total of all shares sold short in a two-week period. This is laughably incorrect. We saw efforts to quantify the earlier open interest report by multiple the number 60 x current share price. No one fell for it.

Just keeping it real :)
