"The daily short sales as a % of total volume has been proof positive the MFO has been selling most days from since they arrived on the scene. That is the method MMs use to sell shares for the MFO."
Clearly the person you're responding to was right to state their purpose: "My purpose is to show investors where the real selling pressure (supply) is coming from. Those who believe or want you to believe that the current SP is simply a result of shorts selling shares they don’t have and the daily FINRA short sales #s are “proof”, but they don't mention and can’t deny the fact that the MFO have sold at least 37.6M shares and counting until a real deal is announced."
He wasn't discussing your issue of methodology. He was properly pointing out the selling pressure that had to be emanating from the MFO. That pressure would have been present no matter how their sales were executed. And they had the shares to sell....they weren't selling those imaginary shares we keep hearing about.
