Why do you think there's any short position at all? The high volume trading can easily be explained if the float's over 200 billion. Do you have any understanding of the magnitude of the figures we're talking about?

What does it matter if the OS is 100B if the float is only 10B and the SHORT 200B.

ok Mr Bill...I'm trying to understand that float vs. short concept...

let's say 20bil in the float...period

now......just an example here...say there were 40billion out there which makes it 20billion short? if that's true let's go another step...cmkx puts out a pr that causes buying pressure...

now how do the mm's cover the shorts in this case? I need very a/b/c explanation....say the bid/ask is 0004/0005 and folks come in with the buying pressure....

are the mm's buying in the middle of this buying pressure?
what do they specifically do with these shares...like I'm thinking if they buy mine they are coming from my broker...
who's the broker that doesn't have the shares that's creating these shorts? I dont' get it

thanks
