Xena...The run to 14.86 is right after the 4-1 or 5-1 reverse...I don't remember exactly as I really don't care. I believe we were around 36M in outstanding after. Off the top of my head, I didn't see much difference in short interest on your post...So you do the math.
You continue to use....possibly what is available to you.... the last 12 month data. IF you are capable and interested, perhaps research the time period cited (Winter 2015-2016).
The bottom line is....There may not have been as much money "made" by shorts as "lost" by longs, but I would wager to say the shorts have "booked" more of theirs than longs have "saved" until they execute.
