For your info only. Back down to zero shorts:
If you trend it, there was an interesting spike in price between Jan 16 - Jan 31, 2013 (when the numbers jumped up as well)
At this price, and this volume, I know it's small amounts, however, the short numbers have always had a very interesting trend to them?

This is one of the examples, I speak of. There are many more over the years. I've always said, whoever is shorting, they are very smart?
I have my own thoughts, and form my own opinion, but look at these numbers, and trend the price at the time. Pre & Post first set of results.
An increase of shorts by 318,478, between Jan 01 & Jan 13, as 14 & 15 was the weekend.
The first set of results came out Jan 10. My assumption is this was shorted between the 01 & 09. But that is only my opinion
Then 234,546 were covered the next reporting period, and another 136,958 the following one, leaving the shorts then at only 6,896
Can you imagine if they had hit one or two big holes, or more, and someone had 378,400 shorts out. Very very lucky, I'd say?
