Of the 11 million float: Say 5 million are with institutions (was around 4mil as of 9/30) Say 2 million with strong retail (I know of a dozen folks on this board that jointly hold over 1 mil) Say 2 million still with the TMI folks (Malcolm etc)
That only leaves 2 million of "free" float at best.... against 3.5 to 4 million shorts.
And we traded 3.5 million shares since yesterday’s market open.
