RE:RE:RE:Stock manipulation I have zero knowledge of that website you've cited. However, the numbers you've cited sure the heck don't make any sense whatsoever.
Stockwatch puts out a new shorts report twice a month: the previous one was Sept 16, so the next is expected any day.
The link you provided doesn't show KNT, but it shows Fosterville and Great Bear.
Once again, the comparisons are completely whacko. e.g. Great Bear Resources
Stockwatch (sept 15):
* total shorts 1,523,84055 _ change + 72,615 _ total shares 48,746,844 _ % of float 3.12
Shortdata (sept 16):
* untitled heading 8,500,565 _ change - 5,847,804 = - 220.44% _ no category _ no category
You cite an increase from 35 million shorts (sept mid-month) to 90 million (now).
The real report shows 1.523 million at mid-month, and KNT total trades since then are not even close to 1/2 of the 90 million "shorts"
The Fosterville comparison was similarly "scratch your head" crazy ...
I know nothing about the site you cited, but I do know with certainty that the founder of Stockwatch knew what the heck he was doing, since he was in the industry, and in contact with the exchanges since the beginning of the 1970s. At that time, he was a floor trader for Elphick Securities, which was later taken over by Canarim, which morphed into Canaccord, prior to his founding of Stockwatch.
