RE: BMO NOT ON PROTECTED SHORT LISTBNS is on that protected list and they don't have any US connection ...go figure...They likely forgot to put BMO on the list or like you have suggested there really wasn't much shorting against BMO. Sorry US data given below but really not much shorting against BMO not even 1% of the float. After today I think there will be a lot of shorters licking their wounds and not likely to temp fate too soon. Chart wise BMO reaching top of the climb now in the high end of the slow STO =56.34 getting into the high range the fast STO= 78.92 ...so a bit more upside then a slight pull back part of a normal cycle.
