First I want to highlight JTU's point again, siting BumbleBee's post from May 5 from which today's PTK short interest is actually down (1.706M vs 1.655M today) and noting from Maing's post today where it shows four out of the last six months it's been at least 1.600M or higher.
Out of interest I went onto
www.shortsqueeze.com and pulled a random (truly) range of Cdn and US comparables, and noted PTK within context:
Short Interest % of Float
TRP .32
SU .63
RY .88
PTK 1.02
QCOM 1.14
MFST 1.22
ECA 1.42
AAPL 1.87
IBM 2.70
INTL 8.63
BBRY 19.54
All of these other stocks are earners. I'd say we are in some pretty good company, particularly given that we are such a speculative play, without revenue, let alone earnings!
Context and perspective folks. To JTU's point, this again comes around to my prior posts about being mindful of the message that is being sent to the market from this board.
