RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Bottom line...GXE Means nothing. At once in 2020 ATH was showing 35 millions shares shorted. Then over a short period (less than a motnh) it went to 3 million short shares. 32 million of short shares disappeared even though entire TSX volume for ATH was less then that. These shares were clearly settled outside of TSX. People still don't know what exactly happened however I have a theory that those were fake shorts, part of washtrading schemes. Someone was borrowing shares and was selling them over a long period of time to their washtrading partner, at the same time they were lowering the SP with that volume. However the same shorted shares ended up in the same hands even though they were registering as short. Then they settled when it was convinient to them. In that situation they can always cover as they can always sell these shares back to themselves, just need to choose a right place and right time. Since then I stopped caring what short share count is - typically it is meaningless. From trading patterns it doesn't appear this is a shorted short.
