RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:short interest plummets by 5000 shares to 2,192,000... yawnThere is no convertible debt outstanding and I m sorry, but the idea that George or any credible CEO would short his own stock is ridiculous. The short position is sticky because it has to be. Good luck trying to buy the stock in quantity without sending the price higher quickly. Almost a third of all BNE trades are currently being marked as short sales yet the position is essentially flat. The stock has shown relitive strength on oil weakness and does not seem to consistently participate on days when oil is strong. Tells me that there is a bias to cover on weakness and short strength. They want out, but there is almost no exit door.
