I got timed out on my edit:
Jake here is a non snipping post/ The short numbers for wave came out in Barron's yesterday and lag two weeks. They showed 5,211,384 short on Jan 15th and on Jan 31st they showed a short number of 5,359,404.
I tend to agree with the others who have stated those numbers Kiwi is posting daily are settlement trades.
The time frame between those 2 figures saw the short number increase by slightly over 2.7%. 7 of the 11 trading days saw the volume over 100K per day. 6 of those 7 were over 170K, a few over 200K, and one 377K. If the shorts were really as active as he has posted that figure would have moved further in either direction on that kind of volume given how much credence is given to the shorts in how they manipulate this equity.
That to me is just common sense.
If you take the number of shares traded short during that time frame using Kiwi's data, it shows 33.75% of all trades made the last half of Jan were short trades. With a total of 1,731,056 shares were traded.
584,231 of that would have been short trades
148,020 is the reporting differential, the stock started the period at .89 hit a high close of .99 and closed the month at .95
