thats the same as 12,882/11,123,800=0.115% per share
100%/0.115%=863 shares needed
If someone shorted 863 shares of NYMH or Perihelion in Aug 11, 2004 it would equal the entire amount of the United States National Debt!
Very feasible!
What else happened on August 11, 2004?
FRB: H.4.1 Release--Factors Affecting Reserve Balances--August 12 ... 12 Aug 2004 ... Maturity Distribution of Loans and Securities, August 11, 2004 Millions ... Wednesday Aug 11, 2004 Federal Reserve notes outstanding 823350 ... www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/20040812/
Kind of neat that 1000 shares shorted in 2004 would equal more then the United States debt of today isnt it?
