Dunno....what does that site only have ancient data? Ends in Nov 2010? Anywho, from nasdaq.com, the short interest was 22.7M on 1/31 and continued to climb the entire time, ending at 44.6M on 4/30 (new numbers should be out soon).
I can't see a correlation between being on the REGSHO list, pps, and reported short numbers.....obviously lots of phantom shares floating around....hmmmm....last time we came off the list it doubled, but took 13 calendar days to do so....we were off the list last Saturday I believe, was reported on Monday, and we're up 5-6% since then....too early to tie things together like you suggest, I think, and will be further blinded by a likely continuous rise in the pps going into the PDUFA date, unless the shorts haven't given up yet....
I cannot wait to see the new (but stale) data - will be shocking IMO, in one way or another. My spreadsheet of shortanalytics data shows a ratio of covers/new shorts of about 4:1 almost daily since 5/7, with ~74M net shorts covered - the running tally of covers vs. new shorts from 4/10 crossed into negative territory that day, that's why I showed the data starting from that point. Proof of how many naked shorts there are/were.....but does the SEC give a damn? Nope.
