It's just that I haven't seen any reason to trust "short" interest info on a penny. Shorts in pennies play for very brief time periods like overnight. Too much risk. Also, one might want to consider that if a significant part of the past year's selling has been "short" then we have even more dilution selling left than we thought.
The one thing I do agree with is that recent buy volumes have been encouraging - until today. Maybe we hit the eye of the storm and turbulence will pick up again.
