Short Positionshttps://shortdata.ca/stock/ARIS.TO
The increase in short voloume coincides with a decline of share price in last half of September and through October.
Short interest rebounded in the last half of Novermber and first two weeks of December however it was not working in the face of gold prices on a rise since the begining of November and Aris' fundamentals strong and intact.
With the price of gold rising the shorter may have decided risk was to high and covered on Friday to take advantage of a dip in Aris' share price. The next short report should tell if that was the case.
So why the sell off yesterday? Likely small players in fear of volitility lately decided to unload into the higher prices from Friday's spike.
