WRONG! There is 2 types of short interest. Some may try to Confuse or mislead others with Equity short interest versus Naked Short Interest! but they can't once everyone understands the Difference. There is 2 types of short interest. Finra only shows Equity short interest! Yet Finra is exactly who fines MM's and Brokers when they get caught abusing daily Naked Short Interest. Study UP! GCAN has been Naked shorted and re-naked shorted many times. MM's call it "Passing the Short Buck". With a bit of experience anyone can learn how easy it is to know when to Load a stock that has been heavily Naked shorted, Once we learn how to SPOT How MM's Naked short and Pass the shot Buck as they Play there Games. These are 2 of my tools I use to spot MM Daily Naked short interest: https://www.volumebot.com/?s=gcan or https://www.otcshortreport.com/company/GCAN
Finra has handed out many Fines for abusive naked shorting! Study UP! Watch, Act, Learn and Earn!
Most Naked shorting is done by MM's because it is Legal for MM's to naked short in the name of making a market, without any cost to them. MM's have 21 days to cover there naked shorts but have learned how to bend and break the rules by passing the short Buck on to the next MM. So those that make false claims or say it's not Happening please explain why Finra is continually Fining them for abusing there Naked Short Market Making privilege. LOL! I suggest studying up. Google is a good place to start. Here are a few Finra Fines I googled. There are many many more.
