I've been trying to get the latest short reports, but, the historical news database on my quote system has been 'temporarily unavailable' all day ...GRR! -Will look for other sources if it doesn't come back up by this evening. However, that last (as of 11/15) report is a bit dated. There's absolutely no reason that short interest can't be reported on a more timely basis - even daily! -one of my pet peeves!
