I believe that those numbers are based on the FINRA report, which doesn't actually tell you how many shares the stock is short. there's really very little way for traders like us to know what the true number is.
anyway, been watching this one for a while and I definitely like what I see!
That is short volume, usuall normal investor has nothing to do with it. it is one part of procedure MM conduct the trade process. Any thing that is associated with usuall normal investor is SHORT INTEREST. Short interest numbers tells you how much owners feel the price will fall. Any short interest level over 10% of the float is concidered strong negative sentiment. And anything over 20% you can expect shorts to fight rether then cover a new run.
It is understood if the stock has between 10 & 20% short interest when the price rises, shorters are loosing money and as they try to buy to cover, that increases the price. So markets call this a short cover rally.
PROOF OF DESPERATION OF MANIPULATORS AND SHORTS: Who else would want to stop a run when great news is announced other than a short? Who has the most to lose from a run than a short? Who puts up huge blocks on the ask after lowering it, other than a short? If any investor or trader was trying to sell or take profits, they would've put up small blocks of 50k or less on the ask so as to get the most for their shares. CONCLUSION… ONLY Shorts and OTHERS with an agenda of hurting this great American company for their own benefit would be desperate enough to try EVERY underhanded and even ILLEGAL tactics to try and stop the inevitable HHSE run to 10+ cents...imo
