Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[KCSVEN]

We just can't know the short position reasoning, When you have heavy dilution like Amarin has experienced it could be a cause for short interest as a hedge, or as a way to add more for the coming run, for many possible reasons.

What percent of shorts are short with no long side option hedge? No idea. Amarin is very volatile which leads to lots of ways to play it and make money with the volatility.

Of course there are shorts that believe it's over-valued but I doubt that is the position of the majority of shorts.

On the flip side, if there are corresponding long option positions they would use those to close the shorts thus no real short squeeze would result.

Just too hard to speculate on the short interest, due diligence and science is what we got, I'm just going with that.
