Glad it helped talking about Shorting. Those #'s of shares short are super inmportant though when looking at what the percentage or # of shares there are out there that are currently "Short". The larger the # of short shares out there the better it is for those of holding long when a stock is rising. Heres a scenario: Lets say ticker ABCD rose 60% Friday. We would all be elated. But for those holding Short, they are down huge as they were betting the pps was going down and now they are forced to cover which means they have to buy in which adds more fuel to the rise up. It's kind like you and I scrambling to sell on a huge down day. Shorts are the exact opposite as they scramble on huge up days as they are losing out. Hope this helps.
