With SRGE - When looking at daily short sales, one day doesn't tell the whole story as we both know. The data tells a story over the days, the weeks, the months, and even the years that a stock is a short selling target.
Patterns of high short volume, into strong buying demand, and lesser short volume, during times of higher selling demand, are clear patterns of those who short.
Claims to the contrary, and those not supported by information provided by FINRA should be viewed with caution.
The other very common pattern of behavior for stocks targeted by short sellers is the consistently high daily short volume, day in and day out. Stocks not targeted, typically have much lower average daily short volumes being reported. Again, a very telling and significant pattern of difference.
If claims made regarding broker-dealers, market makers, and hedge funds were true, all stocks would see very similar patterns of daily short volume reporting. But that is not the case.
We both know that there are ex-clearing, self-clearing, non-tape transactions, and loopholes that the broker-dealers and market makers use to hide their true positions and their transactions.
Even FINRA has provided clear data explaining what may be occurring as demonstrated and documented by those of us who have done our unbiased due diligence.
It is recommended that all shareholders do their own DD regarding the daily short volume numbers.
Here are three very clear links, provided by FINRA, which clearly explain what the data represents and how to interpret it.

From reading the DD above, it appears to be some loopholes in the reporting system that helps to mask “Failure to Delivers” (FTDs). The Regulation SHO Daily Short Sale Volume File Layout shows that “FTDs” do coexist with Short Volume as a key variable as some within the forum had incorrectly tried to infer that Short Volume had nothing to do with FTDs. Further proof within the link below shows the definition of Short Volume and Short Exempt Volume to help all to better understand:

The primary variable to represent the numbers within the FINRA Reg SHO Daily Files is the Short Volume. Now read these posts again below:
