RE:JMHO In december there was over 3 million shares that were shorted. Mostly in the first half as from the middle of dec to the end of the year there was less than 900 k shorted but still over 20% of the volume.
There was obviously some heavy shorting going on late november to mid December 26 % of the volume.
IMO will continue but what I do expect going forward is some lessening of the peaks and valleys as compared to the past,
Just another indication that shorting, as was intended by the rule makers for the sake of liquidity, have allowed counterfeiting ( naked shorting) to become an integral part of the the cdn equity markets and the US pool of traders are taking full advantage of it.
