RE:Shorts Up again

RE:Shorts Up again@ Clarence: You asked repeatedly what this list shows. I did not answer because in my opinion  the ones who use this table should have done so. Since they did not; here is my 2cents of contribution: Basically it shows that the amount of shorts which eventually have to be bought back increased in the last 2 weeks from 2,377,392 by 112,891 to 2,490,483.  Keep in mind that the basic idea is that people who believe the stock is overvalued sell shares which they either own or don't own as people who believe that the shares are undervalued or that, like you, they believe that this company has great potential in the future will buy. Of course both sides hope that whatever they hope for will happen sooner than later. Until to this point in a way we are equals. The problem is that the shorts have it much easier to manipulate public opinion which in turn sets the price for a stock then the longs, particularly in a bear market.  So for me it is more important to know why the shorts sell: is it because they think the stock is overvalued or because for some reason they think it would be easy to manipulate peoples opinion that they panic and sell. The latter you do not see on this table. but in as much I already noticed that some shares have been knowingly sold at a lower price then they could have fetched it has significance. Together with this information I know now that it was not only done to test the market or because they know that bad news are in the waiting but to push the value of the shares artificially down. This again could be for two reasons: they are long and want to buy cheap or they want to take advantage of the resulting fluctuations and contineously buy cheap and sell before they push it down again.  What it is is everybody's guess but with this stock it is clear to me.
