Yes, but contrast that with the 2nd half of December, in which the short interest increased even though the share price was below 9 almost the entire time, especially since the first half of December would have been a much better time to establish a new short position (or add to an existing one).

I don't get what you mean by "SHORT is adjusted price," though I agree short positions commonly are covered and reestablished rather than "buy and hold."

Do you find it meaningless that the short position shrank by more than it had in the past year (indeed by much more than for any period but one).
