Mingy -

How did someone know to increase their short position by 400% BEFORE "bad news" was announced on September 8th and 25th?

09.23.09 (14.7M Short) -> 09.25.09 (62.3M Short) = 423% INCREASE!!!

Those two SHORT increases can account for over $15M in potential profit!!!


% Change (+/-) - Change in overall ShortVolume percentage
% Volume - Percentage of ShortVolume vs TotalVolume

Someone pointed out the short volume % (%Volume) actually decreased vs the overall overall volume increase...can you say "Panic Selling" ensued on those days?

Who could have had access to that amount of shares on those days?
Notice the FTDs?!? No increase...just the opposite! They DECREASED too!

REMEMBER - FINRA's "Short Position" doesn't necessarily always mean a short position was entered...it could easily represent corporate dilution!!!
