Harris Market Consulting is the firm behind the 71% short data. Looks more like manipulation than fact. Just look at how many layers you have to peel back to find the company. Short data.com, Harris Market, Harris consultants, Harris dating my sister, Harris toilet paper...
This is not accurate at all. It does not take into account the borrowing of shares so a MM can make a trade for the customer they serve. They borrow shares to make a trade and cover them within minutes so not really a " short sale" Also retail cannot short these stocks in case people didn't know. Most " free" things are worth what you paid for them when it comes to market " information".
