"volume shorted ratio ranging from 13% to 96%, and no one seems to be able to explain why, and give stories like because market makers matched the short side first, then when pressed, they changed the story and said, well, because not all trades are done like that, and still cannot explain why the range of 13% to 96% short volume ratio exists, "
Not true. I posted the reason why not all trades are done like that. It was very clear and concise. Short volume is meaningless, "short interest" is what matters in the stock market.
