Short report

During the latest period covered by the short report, the shorters have made 81 short transactions for a total volume of 334 200 shares. The consolidated report shows that they have reduced their long term short position by 80 440 shares, so they are now holding only 67 457 short shares.

When making the analysis of the data from the beginning of the year to end of August ;

- Out of a total number of 461 short transactions, 245 transactions were made in the month of August, representing 53 % of their total number of transactions.

- Out of a total volume of 1 732 632 short shares, 844 302 shares were shorted during the month of August, representing 49 % of their total short volume.

Their shorting activities clearly shows that they are not in a short position accumulation phase. They are shorting as little as they can to keep the share price down so they can, not only cover their short position, but also accumulate as many shares as possible in their long position.

The fact that they had to increase their shorting activities during the month of August is explained by the fact that during that period the market responded with increased buying pressure to the company’s announcements / accomplishments. Do not let the manipulators fool you, regardless of what they are saying on different forums, they too think that HPQ’s share price is about to go up.

Shorters are shorting to price down. They are desperate to keep the price down because big fish who wants to buy HPQ for peanuts.

That's a hilarious theory.  The reaction to that news release today was a yawner. Maybe this company should focus and not put too many irons in the fire hoping one will get hot.
