That is why the short side volume each day approximates 50% on all of the pinks and OTCBB stocks
I really have to disagree with that statement. Since I've been tracking the FINRA data (08/03/09), we have seen anywhere from 5.7% to 89.88% short interest. That is a total of 169 days worth of data. Here is a breakdown:
Short Interest Range: Days in Short Interest Range / Days Total = % Time in Short Interest Range ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0% to 9.99%: 3 days / 169 days = 1.78% 10% to 19.99%: 11 days / 169 days = 6.51% 20% to 29.99%: 24 days / 169 days = 14.20% 30% to 39.99%: 39 days / 169 days = 23.08% 40% to 49.99%: 35 days / 169 days = 20.71% 50% to 59.99%: 26 days / 169 days = 15.38% 60% to 69.99%: 20 days / 169 days = 11.83% 70% to 79.99%: 6 days / 169 days = 3.55% 80% to 89.99%: 5 days / 169 days = 2.96% 90% to 99.99%: 0 days / 169 days = 0.00%
If we say that 40% to 59.99% is "approximately" 50% (and I think 20% is a pretty generous berth), then only 36.09% of days fall within that range.
Furthermore, do you see the float and market cap that Short Squeeze has listed? If they can't even get basic information like that right, I would not put much trust in their short data.
