A: Enough to take the stock up 1/2 point when I boxed on a down Wall Street/down Nasdaq day. Confidentiality requires that I not say more.

Q:"Tell us all on this thread: How many of those +1 million shares that are shorted are yours?"

BTW, it is an urban myth that a short must sometime cover. A company like ASTN that mints shares and burns cash like Pompei got buried in ashes is a situation where I may never have to cover (presuming that I unbox again, which is a fair guess, I know the stock and the story, no reason to let it slip away). I have many shorts that I've never covered that I will not have to pay taxes on for years; CLCX, FP et al.
