There are three sources of information.

One is what you know, the bi-monthly FINRA report that is reasonably accurate at reporting the open interest.

The second is the bi-monthly SEC report on FTD (fail-to-delivers). Those are almost always very small. Search "SEC FTD" and you can find it fairly quickly. Download the file and unzip and you will see fairly raw data.

The third, and the one that often get pushed by people asserting "naked short numbers" is the daily trading activity. Every trade is marked as short or not, and if short will be marked as "exempt" or not. The sites that tabulate daily trading shorts are using this.

But the daily number does not mean anything near what many think. If a market maker buys a share at 1:01:40 PM and sells it right back to somebody else at 1:01:45 PM, the first transaction is short. And it will also be marked as exempt, which the websites will say is naked. In reality, all they did is their normal market making activity.

The massive influx of subs to WSB is not just humans. Bots are joining and pumping anything that takes attention off GME. Why would that be?

I dont know man
This all smells to me.
I am wondering if all the people being told to HOLD THE LINE are about to be the victims of the biggest short scam ever orchestrated by the big boys.

The big boys have had months to reposition themselves from this building frenzy re a coming short squeeze, how do we know that they have not repositioned themselves to short GME at these new ridiculously high prices that have moved the GME cap from under a billion to multi billions, resulting in the fleecing of all these social justice warriors stock value and billions as it all collapses ?
