In case this was confusing to some, short positions are different than short interest. Paid Promoters love to purposely confuse the two.
Hope this helped.

There were no short positions in hjoe ever. Never were any naked shorts ever. Any short interest, in the 10's of hundreds, meaning less than a 1000 shares at any one time were covered in the legal 2/3 day time period.



And in case this was confusing to some. Market makers are required to report their daily short sales to FINRA which shows up as short interest. However market makers are not required to report their short positions (how many shares they've shorted) on the Bi-monthly short report.


And the fail to deliver numbers provided by the SEC is a running total of the number of shares that were not settled in the 3 day legal period to do so.

Hope this helps.

"Fails to deliver on a given day are a cumulative number of all fails outstanding until that day, plus new fails that occur that day, less fails that settle that day. The figure is not a daily amount of fails, but a combined figure that includes both new fails on the reporting day as well as existing fails. In other words, these numbers reflect aggregate fails as of a specific point in time, and may have little or no relationship to yesterday's aggregate fails. Thus, it is important to note that the age of fails cannot be determined by looking at these numbers."

The fails to deliver for HJOE can also be seen here (the same data provided by the SEC).
