Try this, Nobody, Nobody, is Shorting Katx. ...(Zero, Zippo)Which means,, Nobody expects the price to Drop

Then,

nobody in their right mind shorts a mining company that is drilling or about to drill....why not just play Russian Roulette.

Because thats when they get their big price jump if you post good results.

Finra is not about Short Selling as we know it, its Short Delivery

Just to Quote

Unless you know what you are looking at, you shouldn't draw any false conclusions. Those are daily tracking numbers

Until a security is delivered, it is considered to be technically short.

If I sell some SPNG today, it will show up as a short sale on FINRA records until my MM meets the buying MM "at the window". This can take up to 10 days. All you are really looking at is the sell side volume minus any flips or buy side through the same dealer. For example. If I buy 10 shares and you sell 20 shares and we are both using NITE and this is the only volume they handled all day long, the system would show NITE is short 10 shares until they deliver your stock to the buyer. Understand?

Stock is never delivered the same day you sell it. That would not be possible.
