Hi Joe, Paul,

From what I understand some traders keep two accounts. 1 long and 1 short. It's a way to get around the no shorting on a down tick rule. They just bail on the long position and ride the short down if it starts to slide. My guess would be that most of the short interest belongs to the MMs. Most of the heavily traded stocks have fairly large short interests that stay pretty constant. Just for grins take a look at MSFT, INTC etc.
