no, the problem is that the FINRA daily numbers are incomplete data. there are many different kind of trades that show up on that list which is why FINRA releases the bi-monthly numbers which do represent actual open short positions. - alien42
FINRA makes it very clear that the daily and the bimonthly numbers are likely under reported and under inclusive for OTC stocks such as FFGO.
FINRA does not state that the short numbers are over inclusive and over reported.
It is very clear from the UBS and Credit Suisse judgments that FINRA is right on target!
