Short Position
Short Position To avoid accusations of of being short myself I want to assure that I have been long and continue to be so over the last year.
Anyone have any opinions on the high short position of 3.9 million which increased by another 7% for the first two weeks of March.
I would think, baring any surprises not evident in the financials, any attempt by the holder of this large short position to cover would send the share price through the roof. How will they be able to cover a position of 4 million shares that normally trades around 80,000 a day without seriously increasing the cost of doing so?
Dividend costs of the short is $1 million and the interest paid if at 2% is another $180,000 so the stock if bought at $6.45 needs to be below $6.15 and stay there while they cover for any profit I would think.
