2. the other factor that could affect the daily short figure is very interesting. if a sale is being initiated by the holder of restricted 144 stock, even though the owner of those shares is technically a long, the sale is listed as a short sale because the actual certificates are not yet "clean" via the transfer agent.

"Trades in certain classes of securities, such as Rule 144A securities, are reported to the ORF, but not disseminated. Non-disseminated securities will not be included in either the daily short sale volume file or the monthly short sale transaction file."
