That was not a short then if it was a buy...

The 100 was most likely part of a sell from earlier....what the daily info shows us is the totals for the day...I am not privy to the reporting mechanism...going over a number of the reports shows that some days 100% of the shares were sold short....other days no shares were sold short...and everything in between.

If it's done to protect an existing short position, on high volume days were there is increasing buy side pressure, they cool it off with a fire hose full of short sales to keep it from cutting into their paper profit...on days where there is low activity, like yesterday, they do little or none....
