Short interest has dropped dramatically but naked (illegal) or loop hole continues? I believe it's to keep the lid while shares are still being accumulated. Nevertheless it's illegal practice, if one is betting against the drop of a company they should buy the share short just like one buys long.
"I am sure you here because you are a shareholder in a company that just continues to go down, and you have no idea why. Nothing material has happened but the trading doesn’t make any sense. We hear it all the times. Most CEO’s don’t even understand, and are baffled. The worst part is, good luck getting anyone to listen! There is a major epidemic going on right now with naked short selling right now."
