I never really trust short interest numbers.Sure they are close if you take any stock from 20 to 2.00 or 70 to 1.00 then one can expect around 35++% of the shares to be short all the time especially if stock has not rebounded tripping hidden "buy to cover programs" etc...My DNDN was 51% short which was true because we opened twice from 3.00 halt to 19+ Talk about money coming out the wazoo.....Man those were Fantastic gaps.


A good example is look at after our famous virus dropped many stocks to single low digits as HFT and algos just creamed to the downside.Many stocks one by one retraced on mainly short squeezes around 50% max.

I love short squeezes and hidden land mines being "buy to cover programs.The stock needs heavy volume and has to go a few points until they are tripped.A huge bunch of shorts at 20.00 on any stock may pile on more and drive a price down to say 3.00..stock could rise slowly for a few days and go to 6 dollars and never really tripping any buy to cover programs.Why? because the shorts at 20.00 to 3.00 have a gain of 17.00 per share for the time being. They are betting and hoping the stock goes only up a few points then rests,,,,followed by more crummy market conditions it drops back to say 4.00 range and sits. They remain short still.

Stock then suffers and drops further over the months.Shorts still in great shape.Only should the stock then partner with someone,get a huge dollar amount contract,new product launch etc...would it run back over that 6 range and start tripping short cover-buy to cover programs.


In my experience I would think ours are hidden in the 6 dollar range since many shorts have remained short for years..maybe even a decade on TMDI..Last I read they can stay short into BK -ing a company they are holding short never returning borrowed shares and their gains are tax free. You might want read up on that as I found it quite rewarding for them and seems like a huge loophole that has never been closed....


Thanks Roll

Message in reply to:

Why does the short interest in TMDI remain so high with mdt as a backer.

The hard to borrow rate is 127% on interactive brokers and 101.5% on fidelity.

Insane interest rate to pay while shorting

Someone is hell bent on suppressing pps despite having MDT as a partner

Any thoughts here Roll??

We need news to squeeze Em.

Get up daylight burning...Flybabyfly.....

Short interest and high rate fee is based on what the pps has done since an event that moved the stock in one direction or another.We know it dropped last Sept 19 area when IBB index crushed all the medical stocks.

Much like implied volatility on options,an event on the horizon,or sudden movement in stock/option direction results in an increased percentage in implied volatility. When the stock or option changes course,settles down from the binary event,the rate percentage rate decreases.

TMDI's case,low float-poor volume,declining pps over time keeps the percentage high based on machines reading the movements as to technicals ,9dma,50dma,200dma etc.....

Remember,machines are programmed and do not think.They seek levels up or down on volume and movement.Most every biotech I have ever owned which is around 90% of my past investing experiences show the same pattern with TMDI as all others.Shorts remain attacking the stock,short posters appear on boards getting paid to do so,FUD is rampant along with some political talking points for distraction away from the stock.

McNally is smart.MDT has a small rope on him though.McNally will speak in past tense of things executed going forward.Like you and others have said and know,very soon a PR is going to hit that moves this up a few dollars in one swipe.Just like any other biotech.Then the pps sticks at that level as boredom sets in for the next round of news.

All is good.We all know who the enemy is around here.Longs need to continue to focus on the most wealth to be made.Some play it like a game not understanding that sitting on your hands will make you the most.

Look what my AMD,and OSTK have done since Jan this year.What a run they have had. TMDI is a true winner here and I am proud to be part over the last few years.I usually am in the same stock for many years until the goal is reached.This one will be until BO..

Thanks Roll........HI YA OR Nurse ..PS SRNE is at 9.00 right now and will run and squeeze shorts big time today.Watch.
