Believed to be reliable! They don’t by imagination come up with a number that looks like 38,341,255 for the daily short volume! This is not time to try and EDUCATE the public and declare nobody is shorting TSOI!

“based upon information supplied by the companies, promoters, or from other sources believed to be reliable.”

T+2 Ignorance on view for all to see
Significant Failures to Deliver No
Hopefully the ignorance does not continue into not knowing what the above means ;-)

What is the failure to deliver?
Failure to deliver (FTD) refers to not being able to meet one's trading obligations. In the case of buyers, it means not having the cash; in the case of sellers, it means not having the goods. The reckoning of these obligations occurs at trade settlement.


What causes failure to deliver?
Failure to deliver (FTD) in trading occurs when one party fails to meet its obligations on a settlement date. This applies to stocks, futures contracts, options, etc. On the buyer's side, it implies a lack of money to proceed with the order. On the seller's side, it implies not having the equity to sell.May 6, 2022


What is the difference between short volume and short shares?
The term short volume measures the number of shares that have been shorted over a given period of time, short interest represents the number of shorted shares that have yet to be closed out or covered by investors.


The short interest data is just a snapshot that reflects short positions held by brokerage firms at a specific moment in time on two discrete days each month. The Short Sale Volume Daily File reflects the aggregate volume of trades within certain parameters executed as short sales on individual trade dates.


1st leg recorded as short until 2nd leg completed

How often does FINRA report short interest?
twice a month
FINRA and U.S. exchange rules require that brokerage firms report short interest data to FINRA on a per-security basis for all customer and proprietary firm accounts twice a month, around the middle of the month and again at the end of each month


should the previous official reported data changed
Settlement period aka T+2 usually not to hard to grasp both legs of a trade if knowledgeable & w/ a bit of actual trading intelligence.
