The FINRA daily short volume information is some of the most misrepresented and abused information discussed on OTC stocks. Without equal. Entire websites exist to present it as some sort of indication of growing and massive short positions on OTC stocks.

And the attraction to that narrative by promoters and insiders is understandable. It provides a convenient "explanation" for massive "selling" and downward pps spirals that are actually being caused by insider selling...and have nothing to do with short selling. NONE.

Simply put the daily short volume information is meaningless....in every way. It has nothing to do with a stock's pps movement or dynamics. Much of that "short volume" is because of LONG transactions and how they are reported.

Anytime someone is pushing the NSS narrative based on that information they are ONLY misleading people, either inadvertently....or on purpose.

Always.
