RE:RE:RE:Short report
RE:RE:RE:Short reportIn its simplest form, it is simply a guage of many shares are being bet that the share price will go down and not up. There are other *possible implications such as the possibility of a short squeeze where people shorting (usually on margin)are forced to buy back the shares if the price goes up to far or two fast instead of down, when in turn actually makes the share price go up even more....causing even more to have to cover....etc etc. Another possible implication for longs (especially if shorts amounts rise very rapidly )is that someone knows something bad before the general market. Two very good examples would be how the shorts rose rapidly back in 2018 BEFORE the rest of us found out that the sales weren't what was claimed. More recently short volume rose rapidly right before that short report came out from white diamond research and we all know what happened the share price since then. The quote of short volume given bi weekly doesn't always have to mean something positive or negative, it is just another tool to use to help formulate a thesis. Again , apologies for bad Grammer, as I am on my phone after a beautiful day of wine tasting from the lovely Okanagan valley!
