RE:RE:Short interest increases to 6.73 million shares over 16% Yes, that is a lot of shares to be covered in 14 days.
I have heard that you can protect your shares from being borrowed by short sellers by putting them up for sale (for instance, place a sell price of $12 for your NHC shares until December 31). I don't know if this advice works, but at least you will know that your own shares aren't being borrowed by short sellers to bet against you!
