Dome --
The mistake you are making here,, in projecting this as a need for short covering is that this is NOT SHORT INTEREST
The MMs have three days to deliver and then it is an FTD---fail to deliver---and this is a no-no
The FINRA is just the MMs business for that day---means nothing.
There is MINISCULE short interest in KATX and please do not infer to us that there will be a mass short cover buy-in---as it will not happen
The above is not my opinion---this is a "Fact Jack"
There has been numerous postings about this---perhaps you could dial up Jim Bishops's posts ane read more about this
Cheers, Art
