the first few trading days of October also had some very heavy volume - 1MM-2MM volume days - which could potentially include more short sales. could explain some of the recent weakness, even with all the good news lately.
WELL had a really big run up last time the short position went from 3MM to almost nothing - coincidentally, this was also around the same time last year. from November to Feburary the stock moved from $6.75 to ~$9.80 when they did the CRH deal.
