Actually, the IB website no does not have any shares available to short as of this morning, so this could mean the remaining 65,000 that were available yesterday are taken and someone has a strategy to use them. Its not allot of volume, but who know how many hundreds of thousands (millions) this broker has available for clients to short.

What I was trying to explain to some over zealous individuals on this board who obviously dont understand what I am looking for with this info is:

1) check the IB website for the shares available to short
2) watch the l2 patterns
3) compare the past weeks trades vs the volumes available on the IB website with a day or two offset, and you will see a correlation.

Its a simple spread sheet, and only one small piece of info for me regarding this stock.
